SHIFT+SPACE | For the Love of Jollibee by Sierra Sevilla

For the Love of Jollibee is a delicious love letter to fried chicken and the beautiful mess of growing up between cultures.

Set somewhere between a fast-food counter and a childhood memory, the show follows Sierra Sevilla’s obsession with Jollibee: the Filipino fast-food icon that somehow tastes like home, heartbreak, and happiness all at once.

Is it possible to love a country and a culture, with a bucket of chicken in your arms at the same time?

Following the hit success of For the Love of Spam, this show is packed with laugh-out-loud storytelling and the tender ache of diaspora longing - for anyone who’s ever missed home, Googled their identity at 2am, or felt emotionally supported by fast food.

Be hungry. Leave jolly.
