Angels of Suburbia invites its audience to an archaeological dig set thousands of years in the future to witness the autopsy of Ancient Bimbo.

Ancient Bimbo awakens to her own micro-era.
Ancient Bimbo’s world has changed beyond recognition.
Ancient Bimbo doesn’t know which way to go.
Ancient Bimbo wanders between her ruined home and the shopping mall.
Ancient Bimbo’s heart is broken.
Ancient Bimbo’s pictures are no longer admired in the circles.
Ancient Bimbo wants to revert to dead empty no thoughts just vibes.

Angels of Suburbia excavates the concept of the bimbo as though it were an ancient relic. Through this lens, the play explores the extremes of living and ageing as a femme in the consumer-driven West.
