Trade Trade Love . directed by Katie Farrell

​

Written by Yi-Hsuan Tseng 

​

Lyceum Theatre, Tempe, AZ

​

A retired soldier trades his own body parts to complete his wife, a beauty (just a head without a body) who sleeps her entire life waiting for her prince to save her. His two eyeballs want to see each other face-to-face, but they cannot overcome the fact that they are a pair of eyeballs. 

​

In the womb, two babies create a secret dialogue for finding each other when they are born into the world.

​

This surreal story about love and sacrifice explores whether we are meant to be together or are born to be together through a highly theatrical, eerily poetic world.

Performed role: Pregnant Woman B
