2 roles
Female-identifying, Chinese. Based on Afong Moy, the first documented Chinese woman in America. She is sharp-witted, perceptive, with an optimistic but rebellious heart. Afong Moy ages nearly fifty years over the course of the play, becoming increasingly critical of America’s capitalist nature and objectification of Eastern culture.
Male-identifying, Chinese. Atung serves as Afong Moy’s translator and companion. He feels timeless, protective of Afong Moy, and is far more accustomed to American culture. Atung hides his true, complex feelings beneath stoicism.
