A Nomadic Storyteller Tours North Island with Award-Winning Show Exploring Dark Truths of Globalization

Hideto Ambiguous now launches from Wellington his North Island tour of the one-man tragicomedy “The Unfolding of Benjamin’s Misery” which won Best Words and Ideas Award at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2019. Partially based on Hideto’s own migrant experience of work exploitation, casual racism, and cultural fetishism, this play reveals how global capitalism even preys on popular progressive ideals such as cultural diversity, equal opportunity and celebration of art. With nothing but his characters and original poetry, music and dance onstage, Hideto examines potentials and limits of an individual everyday dissident in a collective fight for global transformation in this age of xenophobia.
