Soho Rep. today announces a one-week extension of the New York Premiere of Christopher Chen's Passagein response to popular demand and critical praise. The innovative play, a fantasia on colonialism past and present, asks the question: if Country Y occupies Country X, can someone from Country X and someone from Country Y ever form a mutual relationship? Directed by Saheem Ali (Fireflies, The Sugar in Our Wounds), Passage is a playful and gripping experiment that isolates power as the sole differentiator between people-challenging the arbitrary binaries that define how we live. Performances will now take place through June 2.
The cast features Andrea Abello, Purva Bedi, Yair Ben-Dor, Lizan Mitchell, K.K. Moggie, Howard W. Overshown, Linda Powell, and David Ryan Smith. The creative team includes Arnulfo Maldonado (Scenic), Toni-Leslie James (Costumes), Amith Chandrashaker (Lighting), Mikaal Sulaiman(Original Music & Sound), Ryan Courtney (Props), and Nicole Marconi (PSM).
