Director Victoria Linchong’s multimedia retelling of the seminal play, Paper Angels, by Genny Lim. Performed in Portsmouth Square on September 15-17, 2010.

San Francisco Fringe Festival, 2010 – Winner, Best Site Specific Production

Workshop production at University Settlement, 2009

PAPER ANGELS takes place on Angel Island in 1915, and follows a group of Chinese who are detained on Angel Island because of the Chinese Exclusion Act. To create the world of the play, we’ll be projecting archival images not only of Angel Island, but also of anti-Chinese magazine covers, posters and advertisements that were prevalent in late 1800s and early 1900s. The play begins with photographs of the Chinese coming across the ocean and the Chinese Exclusion Act itself.
