Welcome to Passage, a fantasia inspired by E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India, which uses the theater’s primal evocative powers to examine the most essential questions of our time. Obie award-winner Christopher Chen’s play gently lifts us from our own reality and sets us down in a new place: Country X. Country X has been occupied by Country Y. Chen deftly deploys theatre’s primal powers to “raise questions that make the audience profoundly uncomfortable, but simultaneously creates a welcoming space to which everyone is invited.” (Time Out New York).
