The Chinese Lady
Add to calendar The original listing
Description from the publisher
The Chinese Lady is based on the true story of Afong Moy, a Chinese woman displayed as a living exhibit in 1800s America. Told in first person from her point of view, she holds nothing back as she recounts a half-century of performing her culture to curious onlookers. Her dreams and aspirations shift with the passing of time as she discovers what it means to reclaim her story. The Chinese Lady is a funny, heartbreaking, and devastatingly contemporary portrait of America through the eyes of a young Chinese woman. “Piercing and intimate.” – The New York Times “Afong Moy might not have fulfilled her intention of educating and connecting the world in her life, but The Chinese Lady sure has the promise and potential do so.” – The Front Row Center “The Chinese Lady goes beyond an indictment of the imperial gaze, peering through the space that allows someone to be considered an other and asking what it’s made of. Ignorance, yes. But also curiosity, desire, and a wish to understand.” – The New York Theatre Guide
