As a giant panda, Yiyi’s purpose is to save her species from extinction. And according to her Instagram, it might also be her whole personality :) But after six miscarriages, Yiyi starts to question whether being the face of wildlife conservation fundamentally requires her to bear cubs. When you live in captivity, though, do you really have a say? PANDAMONIUM! is about the choices we make within a society that claims to value life, yet restricts the bodies that make life possible. Inspired by real-world animal conservation efforts, contemporary sociopolitics, and the chronically online, this play is for those who touch grass and those who should.
