The White Lotus

About the play:

The White Lotus is a bilingual xieyì performance exploring the legacy of Dai Ailian and a contemporary British-Chinese artist. Drawing on shadow puppetry, Chinese theatre, and water-ink painting, it re-evaluates heritage through identity, memory, and cultural belonging across time.

About Chinaissance:

Chinaissance is a creative laboratory that reimagines Chinese theatre (particularly Chinese opera) in an authentic and accessible way within a cross-cultural context. Through workshops, performances, and research, it opens up new possibilities for tradition in contemporary practice, making Chinese theatrical arts resonate with a global audience.
