YOUR FAVO(u)RITE AMERICAN WOMAN
American memories and California dreaming—in a world full of Yankee woman, what does it take to be your favourite?
Nowadays, the American Dream is more complicated than ever. On her quest to become your favourite American woman, real life California girl C encounters what it truly means to represent the US of A in the entertainment industry: a strong sense of self and lots and lots of audacity. Through dreamy original songs, self-aware poetic monologues, and burlesque dance, this all-American, visibly-Asian showgirl unravels her life and times in Southern California, London, and beyond, while confronting the violence of fascism and global imperialism in her home nation.
Written and performed by Ciarlene Coleman, whose previous solo show YOUR BEST AMERICAN GIRL won “Best World Premiere,” “Best of Fest,” and “Critic’s Pick” at the San Diego International Fringe Festival back home in California.
