Like many Canadians, Kevin has always wondered about his roots. Kevin is Hakka (客家)…he thinks. Hakka (“guest people”) are a branch of Han Chinese who have continuously migrated. Out of the blue, he gets a phone call asking him to write a play about Hakka identity. His fact finding mission leads him to Victoria and the Tam Kung Temple, Canada's oldest Chinese Temple. From creator and performer Kevin Matthew Wong comes a charming and intimate story that transforms into a layered Chinese Canadian tale spanning continents, migrations, and generations. Benevolence is part of the Belfry's 2026 SPARK Festival. A Tarragon Theatre Production, in association with Why Not Theatre and Broadleaf Creative.
