Synopsis

On the railroad that helped build America, two immigrant Chinese laborers navigate survival, identity, and what it means to chase the American Dream.

Utilizing the beauty and athleticism of Chinese Opera, The Dance and the Railroad explores the friendship between two immigrant laborers during the 1867 Chinese railroad workers strike. Set on a California mountaintop, Lone and Ma reminisce about the homes they left behind in China, the lives they hope to build and what it means to chase the American Dream.
