In the Heart of the Beast

Phantom Loss is a tragicomedy puppet show that weaves Vietnamese mythology and American pop culture to explore the impact of criminalized immigration & intergenerational trauma. Thuy's life is upended when her mother, Hai, moves them to a small town to run a nail salon. Thuy feels out of place and alone in her new home and even worse it's haunted! Luckily, she discovers that the lingering spirit is a playful ghost named Chicken. Thuy and Chicken become fast friends, but their time is cut short when Chicken reveals a dark secret, which leads them to becoming contestants on a wacky game show in the underworld. The game show quickly devolves and the fun stops when Chicken's mysterious past comes to light.
