Description

Born of a Tibetan father and a Quebec mother, Chloé and Jade Barshee compose a touching theatrical work of self-fiction, in search of their own identity. The two sisters with asian look and Quebecois talk tell the plight of people of mixed origins while trying to answer the last question: Where are you from? A quest for identity that finds its meaning in memories of childhood and the family.
