Renens Palace: The Blooming Red Flower on my Butt is a interactive two-persons performance about stories happened in a future immigration office. After the queer feminist Bipoc revolution erupts in future Switzerland, the country of Wo is established atop the Alps, ruled by Queen Jiahui from China.

The story unfolds between Yumo and Grandee. Yumo, first a student, once a brothel owner, became a trader of intelligence during the revolution, transforming into a sought-after lover and minister of intelligence by various revolutionary leaders. Fleeing from Queen Zhao's Zurich to Queen Jiahui's Wo, Yumo encounters the unfriendly treatment of visa officer Grandee. Despite her trove of passports, earned through 30 years of struggle, they seem futile. Although she eventually secures residency in Wo, the past traumas inflicted by customs and visa officers continue to haunt her, causing immense pain.

One day, Yumo, dressing as a dominatrix, revisits the immigration office to confront Grandee, the officer who once bullied her. Wielding a whip, again and agin, Yumo marks his buttocks with blooming flowers. Grandee actually enjoys the BDSM activities so much. He had orgasm in the pain.

Grandee recounts his immigration story. As a Chinese gay man and working-class immigrant in Switzerland, he entered into a sham marriage with Mariana, a Venezuelan-born person raised in Switzerland, to obtain Swiss citizenship. However, this coerced marriage, initially based on sisterhood, cost Mariana losing her true love. The outbreak of the revolution rendered Grandee's hard-earned Swiss passport meaningless after 12 years, leading to his assignment to the customs work he always feared.

In the end, Yumo forgives Grandee. They understand each other. hug each other.
