Synopsis:
Written by Brandon Zang | Directed by Carla Mirabal Rodríguez

After getting cast as Puck in his high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Benji dives deep into method acting to prepare for his role. In the enchanted forest of foggy adolescence, he runs into a stranger: the Chinese creator goddess Nüwa (女娲). Does she hold the key to his birthplace as a transracial adoptee? Or will Benji never escape Fairyland? Conceived by Chinese Canadian playwright Brandon Zang, Nüwa in Fairyland fuses Shakespeare’s charm with Chinese folklore into a coming-of-age tale

*The play and the performance of Nüwa in Fairyland is aesthetically bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English; English translation surtitles will be projected during Mandarin Chinese dialogues.

PLAYING WITH FIRE by KINI

WOODY ROCKWELL PRESENT…. PLAYING WITH FIRE

HUMAN TORCH ® KINI 2022

PLAYING WITH FIRE: JULY 8th - JULY 31st
Fire is, to me, a fitting metaphor for this thing we call life. Fire is wild; fire is beautiful; fire can both create and destroy in the same instance. I also believe passion is the human body’s way of mirroring fire in the natural world. There are limitless possibilities that stem from a human soul on fire. What we can and cannot do is ultimately in our own hands. How passionate are we? How does our perception of life and ourselves impact our world? The way we look at things can ultimately be our guide or be the catalyst for our own destruction. This series of paintings uses fire as a motif, reflecting the strong emotions we endure as human beings. Over recent years, a fiery rage has been growing in my heart, waiting to eradicate anything keeping me from experiencing my love for life and all it has to offer. I believe all old paradigms and abusive systems will eventually go up in smoke, but the fire never truly stops burning. - KINI
