Theatre Performance: “Someone Between”
“Someone Between” – a one-woman show that traces the (real-life) writer’s and performer’s journey from Cambodia to Canada – played at Montreal’s recent Wildside Festival to a packed and enthusiastic house. The story of an immigrant daughter, struggling to reconcile her Canadian-ness and intercultural beliefs with the traditional values of her Khmer parents, moved the audience to both tears and laughter.
