As a mixed race Filipina-American, this play hit close to home for me. In the mixed race experience, there is often a fear: am I embodying my culture enough? Am I making my family enough? Hoe can I, as a single, American person, resist colonization? Andrei tackles these questions with empathy for every character and perspective. She wields the world of Filipino-Americans, diaspora, and coming of age in college with elegance, hilarity, dance, tattoo, and an ancient curse.
