 "For entire communities, the saga of the International Hotel (in San Francisco) has always been a source of emotional heartaches, frustrations, inspiration, bravery, triumph, unity. Leaders were born out of necessity; lives diverted, characters emerged. Using the irreverent, passionate words from Karen Tei Yamashita's novel, I-HOTEL, we hope to theatrically articulate the voices of these characters, voices that continue to resonate their relevance even today." - Allan S. Manalo, Artistic Director, Bindlestiff Studio
