Détails
A Chinese immigrant travels from Hong Kong to Vancouver while unraveling the fracture between her two names, two languages, and two homes. Blending poetic monologue, bureaucratic absurdity, and pandemic memory, this solo performance explores racism, exile, and identity. How do you begin again when you are still arriving?

I have a dream in Chinese is a solo bilingual play moving through migration, racialization, and the unstable border between memory and survival.
I hear a scream. I’m back in the windowless workplace. I’m in the chair. Who are you. One interrogation after another. Then I’m standing on the chair, waving a piece of paper, until the chair disappears beneath me. I’m falling, falling, falling, and then — the sound of the sea.
It is a dream. Or it is not.
