Synopsis

Set under the lights of a dystopic game show, four immigrants battle it out for a place in their new country. An audience favourite of the 2016 Toronto Fringe, Silk Bath is a ruthless exploration of what it means to be accepted by society after citizenship paperwork is signed. This show offers a perspective on privilege and otherness and asks us bluntly: Can we ever shed the label of “Outsider”? (fringetoronto.com)
