About the Show
When 17-year-old Little Fong is plunged into the freezing Atlantic as the Titanic sinks, survival becomes a battle inside his own mind. The Unsinkable is a wildly inventive, darkly funny, and deeply moving odyssey inspired by the six Chinese seamen who lived - then were erased from the story of the Titanic's survivors.
From Liverpool's engine rooms and Chinatown streets to Cuban sugarcane fields and a Chicago nursing home in 1986, Little Fong's memories and desires spring to life through puppetry, cross-Atlantic dance traditions, and flourishes of Chinese opera. He fights for dignity and love even as time slips and his life is largely forgotten.
By Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig, directed by Aya Ogawa.
