Zhèngzhì bù Zhèngquè! (Politically Uncorrect!)

by Gianluca Iumiento
Italy
15 minutes

On an international flight, three Chinese passengers—a woman from the mainland and a couple from Hong Kong—argue over a reclined seat, turning a trivial dispute into a cultural clash. But then, the show is interrupted: a spectator accuses the actors of racism and cultural appropriation. Theatre and reality blur in a fierce satire on censorship and the limits of art.
