Join Gloria Mok as she weaves together a personal story about long-distance relationships and immigration, with an ancient Chinese astrological folktale about forbidden love. Utilizing food, simple objects, and conversational Cantonese, a dinner table for a small group transforms into a liminal space that explores the challenges and triumphs of seeking love and connection at a distance.

Long Distance Relationships for Mythical Times is an exquisite, elegant production using memory, myth and Chinese (Cantonese) cultural ceremony to tell the story… Mok has us thinking about our own relationships, what is important, what is difficult and how we overcome what seems to be impossible. Stunning work. - Slotkin Letter
