Stuck Elevator tells the story of a Chinese food deliveryman struggling for freedom from debt, human smugglers, loud-mouth coworkers, and the temptations of General Tso. Based on the true story of an undocumented immigrant who survived 81 hours (about 3 and a half days) in a Bronx elevator, this comic-rap-scrap-metal-opera shows increasingly fantastical attempts to escape being trapped in America. Stuck Elevator provides a personal entry point to thinking about and discussing topics that include immigration, labor, China, family obligation, and fortune cookies for an undocumented immigrant and indentured slave in 21st century America.
