A body horror drama set in a dystopian city where the air is toxic and birth is outlawed. In the city of Baal, citizens are forced into an impossible choice: terminate or sacrifice a family member. The play uses the language of biological mutation and bodily control to examine how systems of power decide who gets to exist and on what terms.

Directed by Theo Yu

Submission Program
A new play development program pairing playwrights from selected Asian countries with AAPI artists based in DC for a workshop development process. We are looking for work that is still in motion: unfinished drafts, formal risks, and stories that have not found a stage yet.
Guidelines and the submission form will be posted here when the window opens. Questions in the meantime go to jaemitheatre@gmail.com.
Opens September 2026
