*Please note that due to COVID Alert Level 2 across Tāmaki Makaurau for a week starting at 6.00am Sun 7 March, The Civic Club will be set up according to Level 2 protocol for all shows between Fri 12–Sun 14 March.*The trope of the demure, soft-spoken and subservient East Asian has long populated the Western imagination: the model minority, the submissive schoolgirl, the kung fu master, the maths nerd.
Taking a scalpel to these outdated and orientalist images, Scenes from a Yellow Peril violently smashes performance poetry, documentary theatre and political discourse together to create a kaleidoscopic vision of contemporary identity politics.
A rare opportunity to gain a view into the developmental process behind creating a play, playwright Nathan Joe and director Jane Yonge invite audiences to a rehearsed reading of scenes from their script, as well as a deeper dive into the core questions of the work through a post-reading discussion.
Sat 13 March, 1.30pm
