Master Cheng – Perth Festival

"A tender portrait of alienation in a metropolis." - The Times (UK)

At her remote rural Finnish diner Sirkka has been serving up the same good old sausage and beer fare since forever, and her handful of huntsmen regulars never seem to want much else. One day a Chinese patron named Cheng arrives with his young son in tow. Cheng is searching for something called ‘Fongtron’—though as no-one is sure what that is, they can’t help him much.

As it turns out, Cheng was a top chef in Shanghai and soon Sirkka’s Diner gets a radical revamp. Foodie fun with a yearning undertow, served with a Scandinavian half-smile.
