I aspire to shoehorn giant robots and a dance number into everything I make.” |
Kenneth Keng is a New York-based Filipino-Chinese playwright and performer who makes work about falling in love with a culture devouring his own.
His plays are written to bring the spectacle of high concept science fiction onto the theatre stage, while imagining the disparate futures the Philippine people might carve out. Their first play to be staged, Going Up, depicted the struggle of dealing with Southeast Asian filial expectations while bounding through an ecologically devastated hellscape in twenty foot tall 'mech suits. |
