Award winning play examines heart of “Chineseness”

Governor General Award-winning playwright David Yee’s No Foreigners debuts at the Vancity Culture Lab February. It runs from Feb. 7 – 17.

Through live performance and a micro-to-macro camera apparatus, No Foreigners considers Chinese shopping malls as racialized spaces of cultural creation and clash. It is an interdisciplinary collaboration from Hong Kong Exile and fu-GEN Theatre (Toronto).

Set in a mall, stories go between Cantonese and English, in and out of the afterlife, and through past, present, and future. No Foreigners attempts to unpack what is at the heart of “Chineseness” and what the future of visitors and settlers.

It is co-created by Natalie Tin Yin Gan, Milton Lim, Remy Siu & David Yee. April Leung and Derek Chan are the performers.
