“Even though cross-cultural communication may be impossible to do perfectly, that theater makers and artists are thoughtfully trying to do it anyway. They are pushing themselves and their understanding that theater, with it’s live nature, is uniquely able to create understanding in the simplest of ways,” Odcikin said. “And that’s the fun thing about the play is that it makes fun of us — as liberal, well-meaning theater makers in the U.S. who want to help.
