About This Show
An ex-pat living in Singapore confronts his mysterious past with his feminist Singaporean cousin. Devised as a cross-cultural exchange, the play explores the concept of outsiders and other(s) both in Singapore and in NYC. Set amidst the 2004 Tsunami, the penthouse of an American rock-star, a quarantine station in Singapore and Columbus Circle in New York City – the story weaves a cast of six characters on an international search for home.
