Flight of a Legless Bird follows the intertwined lives of Robin and Leslie, two queer artists from the 1980s to the 2000s. Robin, a filmmaker in New York's West Village, confronts the reality of a HIV/AIDS diagnosis, while Leslie, an accomplished Cantopop star and actor, grapples with his personal hurdles in bustling Hong Kong. Their worlds collide by chance, forging an elusive, emotional bond between the two men that defies time and space. Fusing Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, the play surveys a golden era of pop music, film, and culture, while reckoning with the need for intergenerational memory and the transformative power of art in a rapidly changing time.
