Find out how this (delicious) canned meat symbolises modern-day colonialism and threatens the very livelihood of a whole civilisation in these West vs East political games.
Can this formerly Catholic, angry and God-fearing woman help educate (and feed) the masses, all while "liberating" her island?
Performed by CHamoru/Filipina theatre maker Sierra Sevilla, originally from the island of Guam and passionate about shifting immigrant narratives.
Recipient of the Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Fund 2024.
