Description We are not Rachel Chu. But what would Crazy Rich Asians look like if we were?

Identity, identification and representation collide in this violent act of intercultural appropriation. I AM RACHEL CHU is an act of literary terrorism - watch and listen as we rewrite, rework and revitalise the best-selling book and box-office success with our own personal histories, superimposing ourselves over its so-called relatable protagonist.
