You couldn't ask for a better appetizer before the Barbie movie.

About the play:
Frogs. Ancient deities. A fatal (?) car crash. 马马虎虎 is a two-hander exploring the nuclear family's relationship to existentialism and gender (with puppets!) -- a hypertheatrical q***r Chinese cousin to the Barbie movie. Get in loser, we're going abyss-hopping 💝💄🐸
