A “language carnival that combines simplicity of content and poetic lyricism,” this story raises questions about the relation of the individual to the collective in post-socialist society and China’s attempt to reconcile its past with its present and future. I LOVE XXX is an ongoing invitation for young people to challenge prevailing norms and never stop exposing hypocrisy.

THE FORTUNE TELLER

Can you predict your destiny? How do we end up where we are? Inspired by an unsettling history, THE FORTUNE TELLER traces several generations of a family from China in the 1800s to present-day America, as they search for destiny and each other bound together by immigrant legacy and bloodline.
