Come join TAP-Chicago, JASC Connect, and KACC to watch the final performance of Ching Chong Chinaman on October 19th at the Raven Theatre!
THE PLAY
Lauren Yee’s Ching Chong Chinaman satirizes the Asian American identity and explores what happens when a Chinese American family loses all sense of their cultural heritage. The ultra-assimilated Wong family is living the American dream, but not all is perfect. Upton, the Wongs’ youngest child, dreams of becoming a World of Warcraft champion and the only things that stand in his way are his daily chores and homework. Desdemona, the Wongs’ daughter, has goals of attending Princeton, but her math grades are not up to par. Upton comes up with an idea to solve both their problem by acquiring Jinqiang, a Chinese indentured servant who envisions an American dream of his own.

Come with TAP-Chicago on November 22nd to see one of the last performances of The Hundred Flowers Project!
THE PLAY
Digital media becomes the perfect “ally” for a group of actors collectively creating a play about Mao Tse Tung’s Cultural Revolution. As their work-in-progress starts morphing into a propaganda play about the play itself, disturbing questions arise as to who, or what, is controlling the narrative.
Statement from Playwright Christopher Chen:
The Hundred Flowers Project is my big, multimedia fantasia on the Cultural Revolution in China. With heavy use of modern technology, the piece explores the state of mind of Mao’s regime by melding it with our own Facebook age, ultimately finding a shared, crazed selfmythologizing ethos in both. To really capture the vertiginous, careening, propagandic feel of the Cultural Revolution, I decided to make this a visceral piece of theater with all cylinders firing, embracing spectacle and a kaleidoscopic, continuously shifting structure. I love plays that take audiences on an emotional and intellectual roller coaster, plays that disorient and startle as a means of opening up hidden levels of insight.
Reviews:
”“Flowers” revels in a mixed-media meta-theatricality that unfolds its unexpected twists with sharp clarity.”
– Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle, October 30, 2012
“Chen’s vision — linking the power of Mao’s reign with Facebook’s dominance — is at once hilariously satirical and ominous.”
– Jean Schiffman, San Francisco Examiner, November 1, 2012
“Chen’s new play is an extremely challenging work whose theatrical concept is framed by a mash-up of emerging technology that will leave you with plenty of food for thought.”
– George Heymont, Huffington Post, November 10, 2012
