Assam Laksa is an intergenerational migration play that spans China, Malaysia and Melbourne. It follows four generations of women as they navigate cultural and family expectations and find ways to survive and thrive, all while a bowl of Assam Laksa is being made. The play explores the cost of migration on cultural identity.
Assam Laksa is a script in development and had an initial reading at Northcote Town Hall as part of Darebin’s Scratch Nights: Slanted Scribbles.
The reading was Directed by Karen Yee and Performed by Emina Ashman, Cecilia Liu and Nikki Zhao
