Nervous Hunter

A piece freely inspired by Jean Genet’s The Maids (Les Bonnes) – but we never perform it on stage. It plays on the background on a video, alongside CCTV (China Central Television), while four Chinese women make chili sauce, order dim sum, and talk about our different experiences and questions around internalized racism and our thoughts on China’s rise to power.
