With travel and globalization the world has now become one big pool of cultures with a mixture of rich diversity and colourful cultural exchanges.
If we look at our ancestry, almost all of us come from somewhere else. Our families and ancestors have travelled from far places to come and colonise this beautiful country that we have come to call home.
What is it like to experience culture shock when you migrate to a new place? As the world changes and grows we do not know what the future holds for us. Maybe some day we will be displaced from our home into a foreign land?
Together we will explore CULTURE SHOCK with local Artistic Director Colleen Williamson as she recounts the shocking true story of Family Motel.
