Journey To The Poles Of Inaccessibility

Unicorn Theatre

It’s 2008 and a father-daughter duo are heading to Phnom Penh; she to prosecute a notorious Cambodian war criminal, he 30 years after escaping then-Communist rule. In a psychedelic theatrical extravaganza set to some of the country’s most popular rock music, including from Dengue Fever, Cambodian Rock Band shines a light on the country’s vibrant ’70s rock scene and how an entire generation of musicians was purged by the Khmer Rouge, as it brings long-buried family secrets back to life.

In the 1970s, the landmark Hart-Celler Act opened new pathways to citizenship for thousands of professional workers, setting the stage for the deeply moving narrative of "The Heart Sellers" by Lloyd Suh. Set against the backdrop of Thanksgiving 1973, the play follows the lives of Jane and Luna, two new Americans whose workaholic husbands have left them feeling isolated and invisible in their new homeland. Over sips of wine and a questionable frozen turkey, the two women reminisce about their pasts and dream of a future where they can spread their wings in the land of opportunity. Their aspirations include disco dancing, learning to drive, and even a visit to Disneyland. Directed by Vi Tran, this poignant and humorous play explores themes of identity, belonging, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of a new home. With grace and dignity, "The Heart Sellers" poses the profound question: Would you give up your heart to make a new home? This 90-minute performance, with no intermission, promises to be a touching exploration of the immigrant experience, filled with moments of both laughter and deep reflection.
