Synopsis

THREE LIVES Written, directed, and performed by Alex Xander Luu

In this raw, funny, and deeply moving solo performance, acclaimed artist Alex Xander Luu traces his familys escape from war-torn Saigon in 1975 and their search for identity and belonging in America. Through the intersecting perspectives of son, father, and grandfather, Three Lives journeys across continents and generations, confronting the immigrant struggle with humor, heart, and unflinching honesty. Luu hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a compelling voice in solo theatre brings to life a vivid tapestry of memory and resilience, from the chaos of the fall of Saigon to the challenges of assimilation in a new homeland. Luu fuses physicality, storytelling, and sharp observation to reveal how the promises and myths of the American Dream collide with lived experience.
