Ballad of a Karaoke Cowboy
Ballad Of A Karaoke Cowboy, set in the present, split between an abandoned log cabin off an Indian reserve in Northern Ontario, and a karaoke bar in downtown Toronto. The story of a young Chinese man who loses his “self†in the world of karaoke and the myth of the western cowboy. His Chinese “damsel-in-distressâ€, an ESL student, who attempts to understand the karaoke cowboy’s predicament and identifies her plight as a person in the new world. “Conventional†conundrums about identity are pushed to extremes. What happens when we push our allegiances to race, ethnicity, gender and language to their logical conclusion? What happens to individuals when their identities cannot be so neatly compartmentalized as social forms dictate?
