Institute History
Description
Doris Eng, a Chinese-American talent agent in Hollywood whose celebrity look-alike business is on the skids, is visited by Dorris Ango from Hong Kong, a long lost relative from China, who claims to be looking for actors for a very important project. Is Dorris Ango seeking movie talent for a Hong Kong film or picture grooms to marry women who want to leave before Hong Kong is handed over to the People’s Republic of China? This play explores expectation, image, role-reversals, and reconciliation as capitalistic Hong Kong approaches its 1997 reunification with the “awakening dragon” of Communist China.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
