Seriously guys, put POC in your sci-fi movies, books, and tv shows.

Seriously guys, put POC in your sci-fi movies, books, and tv shows. Seeing a film with none of them at all is actually kind of scary for me.

It would be like you sitting down to watch a movie about a dystopian near future and there are absolutely no men and the plot doesn’t address that at all. Like, literally wouldn’t your first thought be that men were at some point eradicated completely by the women?

That is what we’re pretty much forced to think about your entirely white fictional society. Maybe y’all herded us into death camps. Maybe y’all just shot us all in the streets. All I know is there are none of us left and no one seems to find it suspicious or unusual.

If you don’t want people to think that about your work, then for the love of god include us in your narrative.

Inspired by the life and work of Samuel R. Delany and Marilyn Hacker, and powered by a crack ensemble of six extraordinary performers, this world premiere links three stories into a theatrical fantasia of sound, light and space, exploring what it means – and what it might yet mean – to be human, and to love.

Multi-award-winning Elbow Room have crafted a unique and touching affirmation of our power to imagine a better tomorrow.

We caught up with Ray Chong Nee ahead of the Melbourne premiere at Theatre Works as part of our Selected Works program.
