Presented in collaboration with Under the Radar Theater Festival

From theatre creator, performer, and video artist Kevin Matthew Wong comes a charming and intimate storytelling experience that blossoms into a multi-layered Chinese-Canadian tale spanning continents, migrations, and generations. Kevin has always wondered about his roots. Kevin is Hakka (客家)—one of the world’s most widely dispersed communities—he thinks. Out of the blue, Kevin receives a phone call asking him to write a play about Hakka identity. For seniors. In Markham, Ontario, where almost 50% of the population is Chinese. Vulnerable and epic, moving and playful, Benevolence is a powerful exploration of community, hybrid identities, and legacy. Tracing the roots of the Hakka (客家), performer Kevin Matthew Wong embarks on a journey to untangle these threads within himself.
