一個中國女生帶著無限憧憬踏入美國，與在美經(jīng)商多年的哥哥團聚，不料哥哥輝煌的事業(yè)背后卻暗藏玄機，而女主角自己也陷入了一段危險的戀情。與此同時，美國環(huán)境署在紐約州發(fā)布警報，動員全民捕殺流入哈德遜河的一外來物種以保護當?shù)厣鷳B(tài)，而這個人人喊打的“危險物種”在地球另一端卻有一個備受寵愛的名字——大閘蟹。今天與過去、故鄉(xiāng)與遠方、現(xiàn)實與奇幻在這出劇中奇特地交織在一起，帶你從一個全新的角度去看待移民史：我們所謂的“家”到底是一個怎樣的概念——為什么我們都向往他方？為什么我們都懼怕外來者？

本劇跳脫早期移民寫作的悲情路線，改以幽默犀利的口吻，描述不同文化對同一事件的想象落差，再帶入中國大閘蟹以“危險物種”的身份登陸紐約，突顯不同族裔在現(xiàn)代都市大熔爐的生活大為不易。作品的元素非常原創(chuàng)生猛，語言掌握精密，跨文化雙關語運用得機巧妙趣。卓劇場將嘗試以多語言演譯及各種演繹技巧，突顯故事當中本地與外地間的矛盾沖突。

Why do we leave home?

Why do we go home?

Bearing infinite vision, a Chinese girl went to the United States to reunite with her brother who had been running business for many years. However, a mystery was hidden behind her brother’s brilliant career and the heroine herself also fell into a dangerous relationship. Meanwhile, a warning has been issued by the environment bureau of New York State, mobilizing all local citizens to kill an exotic species that flows into the Hudson River to protect the local ecosystem, but the Dangerous Species has a favorite name on the other side of the earth: hairy crab.Today and past, home and distant place, reality and fantasy all intertwined in this drama, taking you to observe the history of immigration from a new perspective: what is the concept of what we called Home——why do we all yearn for leaving home?Why are we all afraid of outsiders?

With a humorous and sharp tone, the drama, changing the pathos style of writing concerning early immigration, describes the difference of imagination from different cultures to the same event,followed by introduction of China’s hairy crabs landing New York as a dangerous creature, highlighting the life difficulty of diverse ethnic groups in modern metropolis. The elements of the works are of fierce originality, precise use of languages and cross cultural equivoques with wit and ingenuity. The Dirks Theatre shall try multilingual translations and various deductive techniques to feature the conflict between the local and nonlocal.
