Lying to save face. We all do it.
Struggle, conflict, identity. Emerging from Asian insecurities and troubles is a performance about face. In any social interaction, the constructed persona is at stake. How much respect and deference can a person claim? By what means, through what methods?
This performance examines the intersection of Asian “face” and Western “standing”, and where the boundary lies between them.
