Black Daisies / White Daisies

Black Daisies / White Daisies is a play about the dichotomy of Asian identities and consciousness in one body being separated into two characters –– represented by an Asian name and an English name. It is a living room play that escalates into catastrophic, action-filled fights between the two that destroy everything in their surroundings. With a “big bang,” the struggles with queerness, identity, and shame are demolished. In the aftermath of their war, they find ways to coexist among the seemingly chaos.
