A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Phillip Howze’s play Frontieres Sans Frontieres is about Three Orphans navigating the abstract yet familiar world called, “here”—a place shaped by the imperial systems of education, healthcare, media, and even theater itself. Through the lens of absurdism and dark comedy, Frontieres Sans Frontieres asks the audience to confront how these systems shape our values, our relationships, and even our bodies. This play reflects on how soft power has built the worlds that we assume have been around forever, but what happens when we begin to pull the loose ends of these fragile structures of reality?..."
