Passage at Mullen Center for the Performing Arts

In Christopher Chen’s Passage, a physician and a visiting teacher from diametrically opposed nations attempt something quietly radical: a genuine friendship across a vast geopolitical divide. But, when history, power, and perception color every exchange, is it possible to ever truly see each other? Inspired by E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India and praised by The New York Times as “guaranteed to raise your heart rate,” Chen’s bracing play reaches beyond conflicting ideologies to explore the profound potential in connection. Urgent, mysterious, and deeply human, Passage is the kind of drama that lingers long after the play ends.
