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.

“...technically masterful and emotionally resonant.”
“Hilarious play that leaves plenty to ponder.”
