ASIAN PIRATE MUSICAL is a devised musical featuring five seafaring Asian characters across four time periods, intertwining the lives of 14th century Muslim diplomat Zheng He, 19th century pirate queen Shih Yang, a 21st century survivor and 24th century queer space revolutionaries.When an unnatural mist rolls across time, five pirates are displaced across time and must navigate the high seas as one. Together they contest and complicate the idea of ‘Asia’ and its diasporas with their individual and collective histories and traditions, and reimagine the future of mixed-race identities and cultures.Through an experimental blend of traditional indigenous sounds, 21st century Asian pop, and musical influence from diasporas, ASIAN PIRATE MUSICAL explores freedom, found families, and finding fun in the face of our future.This is a work in progress performance.

Formerly JDWasabi Studios, Jade-Wasabi Studios’s vision is to create enthralling journeys through the innovative medium that is game design, creating worlds full of culture and emotion that move and inspire our players. Our debut project is ‘Hungry Whispers’, an episodic horror game rooted in Chinese tradition and ceremony. Spanning ancestry and spirituality to more contemporary issues of family and self-acceptance, our aim is to saturate the game with a cultural gravity unseen in the genre. The team is based mainly in London, with members working remotely from across the world.

"Dragon Fin Soup seamlessly blends genres to create a fresh experience: half story-driven tactical RPG and half high-stakes roguelike, with a pinch of crass humour and a heaping helping of murder & madness set in a procedurally generated fantasy world.Meet Red Robin - a charming, yet raging alcoholic bounty hunter, who’d rather get into a bar fight than deliver baked goods. Players must take up Robin’s blades and set out across Asura, a lushly colorful fantasy world that sits on the back of an enormous space turtle, on a journey to discover the secrets of her bloody past. WARNING!!!This game is not for the casual player and can be highly addictive. Dragon Fin Soup contains the following: - Superfluid turn-based tactical combat - Raging alcoholic bounty hunter heroine- New procedurally generated world each time you play- Mercenaries for hire and awesome pets to collect- Over 60+ hours of roguelike gameplay in Story, Survival & Labyrinth modesDragon Fin Soup is hand crafted by a 5 person indie development team - Grimm Bros LLC.
