Anaknya susi susanti biography

- Citra and Melati are highly ranked youth badminton players, ready to represent Indonesia internationally. But while Melati starts traveling to play in major junior tournaments on her own, Citra immigrates with her family to Washington D.C. where she has to give up her dreams of becoming the next Susi Susanti. They both have what the other wants – Citra has her family and all the opportunities America has to offer, just not badminton; meanwhile Melati is on the path to playing professionally and representing Indonesia on the global stage, but she feels alone. Citra&#;s new friends in D.C. and Melati&#;s on the international badminton circuit are played by the same actors, creating mirrored worlds where these two young athletes grapple with what they really want from life. The play toggles between both girls’ experiences and asks big questions about the costs of national pride, familial expectations, and what it means to figure out who you are away from where you’re from.
