FLOOD IN THE VALLEY is a bilingual folk musical set in the hills of Appalachia and Sichuan and created by a collaborative of six playwrights and composers from China and the United States. Performed in Mandarin, English, and Nuosu by a diverse cast of eight performers from both countries and a live band, the play follows two pairs of lovers as they contend with the rigid traditions of their mountainside communities and the struggle to find one's home in a changing world.
