Synopsis: | EXIT THE DRAGON is a reflection of today's theatre, film, and television industry's discriminatory practices. It centres around three struggling actors coming to terms with themselves and their identities as Asian-Canadian males. Through their dialogue and actions, truths are revealed about each of their identities. Dave Woo is ashamed of his Asian heritage and denies the effect of his culture on himself. Vien Vu is a refugee immigrant from Vietnam and considers himself lucky to be in North America. Jun Chow is a militant pro-Asian without really understanding the meaning of being "Asian". Tired of stereotypes and tired of accepting the "given" rules, all three actors accept their perception of themselves rather than have their image dictated to them. With the newfound confidence, all three actors become proactive in building their careers and fulfilling their dreams. | |||||
