Marmite vs soy sauce, yeah-nah vs haiya, kiwi vs panda—welcome to Summer Xia’s journey of becoming a ‘Chiwi.’
In her first solo show, she hilariously shares life as a first-gen Chinese immigrant navigating Kiwi life and rediscovering her own culture.
From being her mum’s A+ daughter to challenging stereotypes, casual racism, and her parents’ obsession with grandchildren, Summer’s sharp observations and personal stories explore family, identity, and belonging. Expect laughs every step of the way.
