Trying to Find Chinatown
Trying to Find Chinatown a two-person play, in which two Asian-American men-one searching for his Asian heritage, the other trying to shake himself free-meet by chance in New York City.
During rehearsals for a play about Mao Tse-Tung, events from the actors’ real lives become the subject of their own epic propaganda play. The Hundred Flowers Project, a story of self-generating narratives, is at once a cautionary tale of history and a parable of media’s role in the politics of today.

Updated version based on the true story of the story of a disgraced French diplomat and convicted spy — Bernard Boursicot — who, to the world's astonishment, learned at his trial that the Chinese woman who had been his secret lover for nearly 20 years was a man. It is intertwined with the opera Madame Butterfly.
