DRIFTING

DRIFTING

Directed by Sasha Tzu Yin Hsu

When we believe we are changing the world, who is it that we are really changing?

It is the 19th century. Scottish physician pioneer Dr.Patrick Manson arrives in Formosa, present-day Taiwan. He arrives with a belief : Modern medicine can transform this island. Until a medical error shatters his belief. A mosquito leads him into a journey where truth and illusion intertwine. A theatrical adventure across history and imagination. Asian physical aesthetics X poetic theatre X original music X dark humour As culture, medicine, power, and responsibility collide. When we believe we are changing the world, who is it that we are really changing?
