Microcosm Theatre Company
Is This the Real Life?
China or the UK? Where should I go? What happens after I graduate? The things you ignore during the day will often creep into your dreams.
Gripping reflections on the subconscious intermingle in this showcase of the ideologies and anxieties of a Chinese international student.
Overseas students consider these things every few seconds: the anxieties of uni life, and the dilemma of the ominous life after graduation.
Is this real life? explores cultural stereotypes, freedom, an antitheist encountering gods and Chinese allegory in an entrancing and thought-provoking play.
Chinese students Hongye Chen and GuoZhao Sun, drama students at the University of Exeter, are Microcosm. The pair of theatre-makers, and dreamers, are excited to bring their first show to the Fringe.
