The world of Capitalites is one marked by hipster cafes with exposed brick walls, clout-chasing social media influencers, walk of shames, sweat-soaked nightclubs, and startup offices led by loudmouthed entrepreneurs spitting inspirational quotes.

It’s a diverse and chaotic subtle asian world where we (young people) find ourselves trapped between the burdens of tradition and their our own lofty aspirations and ideals... where we fuck and get fucked... where everyone always wants to be someone else... and where we grapple with the choice of becoming boring, responsible adults or staying young and staying foolish.

Fight your insecurities. Pursue your ambitions. Give into the drama.
Struggle between who you are and who you want to be.
Grow the fuck up.
Welcome to the real world baby! Welcome to Capitalites.

We play using the EMOTIONALLY REPRESSED THEATRE CLUB series pitch.
