TEC - LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP FOR MYTHICAL TIMES
LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP FOR MYTHICAL TIMES
Gloria Mok weaves together a personal story about long-distance relationships (LDR), immigration, with an ancient Chinese astrological folktale about forbidden love. Utilizing food, simple objects, and conversational Cantonese, a dinner table transforms into a liminal space that explores the challenges and triumphs of seeking love and connection at a distance. Long Distance Relationships for Mythical Times is part of 2b theatre’s Great Little Works series: intimate performances based on humanity’s greatest works of theatre and literature, each brought to life by one performer at a table. These shows are uniquely designed for this moment; shows built for small audiences, safely performable during a pandemic, producing minimal ecological impact, and maximal emotional and spiritual value.
