Shows to Watch For: CAUGHT, by Christopher Chen, from Intiman

Show #2: Caught by Christopher Chen

Intiman Theatre brings back this modern classic of Asian American theatre, directed by Desdemona Chiang, and featuring Bradford Farwell, Jonelle Jordan, Justin Huertas and former PFP Producer Narea Kang.

 

PFP is a Community Partner for this production as we welcome Narea back from the bright lights of New York for this tour de force performance.

 

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears. 

 

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

 

March 7-March 30, 2019 at 12th Ave Arts, 1620 12th Ave, Seattle. Tickets available here. Or check out the Facebook events page!
