Koreaboo x KAIAN (July 2025)

In an exciting collab with the Griffin Theatre, KAIAN was engaged to help ensure the amazingly engaged staff were well prepped for Michelle Lim Davidson's season of Koreaboo and assisted with marketing materials, opening nights and a exclusive showing of the play for an adoptee community night.

Davidson plays Hannah, a 30-something-year-old woman who was adopted from Korea as a baby and grew up in Newcastle. After a break-up, she travels to Korea to spend time with her biological mother, Umma (Heather Jeong). Hannah’s plan is to spend time getting to know the woman whose love she’s longed for since before she can remember. She offers to help Umma at the family’s convenience mart, and Umma reluctantly agrees. It’s not until they discover a shared love of K-pop and performing that Umma’s walls start falling down, and Hannah really gets to know her Sex-and-the-City-quoting, Turtle-Chip-eating Umma.

KAIAN's volunteers also helped orgainse the foyer activation for the season, and arranged delicious Korean catering for the opening nights. Huge thanks for a massive volunteer effort Meg, Jacqui, Grace, Webster and Lauryn!
