About the Project

In an ordinary fish tank, live two ordinary goldfish, Apollo and Bubbles. Thanks to their short memory, their life has been simple and suspiciously happy – until Apollo catches a glimpse of “the sea” on the “glowing box” across the living room.

Two Goldfish (Who Become Heroes) is an original allegorical one-act play about memory, freedom, and the heroic transformation of ordinary humans. The play directly responds to the recent anti-dictatorship protests in China and worldwide, and also aspires to honor all the dissidents and activists who have stood up to oppressive regimes, regardless of time and place.

Produced by Yun Theatre, Two Goldfish (Who Become Heroes) will open in December at Base: Experimental Arts + Space, Seattle, featuring an all-Asian cast. There will be 8 performances from December 16th to 18th.

The performances will be in Mandarin to serve the target audience, the Chinese immigrant and Chinese American community. English subtitles will be provided.
