Eastbound

Told through the soundscape of a contemporary score fused with traditional Chinese folk music and Mandopop, Eastbound is performed in English and Mandarin, following the story of two men and their quest for identity. Adopted at birth, 21-year-old Calvin has been diagnosed with a deadly illness and travels to China to connect with his birthplace. At the same time, Yun travels to the U.S. in hopes of breaking free of stifling family traditions. The pair are forced to evaluate the true meaning of family, both alone and together. Eastbound is an emotional story of what it means to balance family, tradition, and independence.
