On stage 5 Chinese citizens. The only language they speak is Mandarin. But they are convinced this should not stand in the way of an auspicious exchange with the audience. Using the possibilities of theatrical representation, they teach us basic oral comprehension of their language, just enough to understand the gradually unfolding narrative: a story fuelled by dormant troubles.
