5 A dystopian drama

TheATre | Yellow Rabbit Nov. 23 to Dec. 1, Young Centre for the Performing Arts

-

In a post-apocalypti­c world torn apart by racial warfare, a man and woman struggle to gain entry to a gated Chinese utopia, Rich-Man Hill. As they perform a series of increasing­ly disturbing tests to prove their worthiness, they start to question the consequenc­es of conforming to the community’s unifying ideal. A provocativ­e new play by emerging Chinese-Canadian troupe Silk Bath Collective, Yellow Rabbit pays homage to the dystopias of The Hunger Games and The Handmaid’s Tale, asking what humans are willing to sacrifice to belong. Performanc­es are in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, with surtitles.
