Where Do You Come From?

​

Where do you come from – no, really, where do you originally come from? In this lecture-performance Tintin Wulia attempted to answer the age-old question she has been drilled with, growing up as an unassuming minority kid (with a family secret) in Indonesia and later tramping the globe with a self-deprecating Indonesian passport. Phrasing, rephrasing and paraphrasing the question, Tintin went through pieces of her grouts and groins, witty and otherwise, persuading us how normal she was, occasionally showing how unusual she was—like every mosquito in this universe.
