The Chinese Lady at Studio 180 Theatre

The Canadian Premiere of Lloyd Suh's critically acclaimed play!

Studio 180 Theatre and fu-GEN Theatre Company, in association with Crow's Theatre

Afong Moy is 14 years old when she’s brought to the United States from Guangzhou Province in 1834. Purportedly the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, she has been put on display for the American public as “The Chinese Lady.” As the decades wear on, her celebrated sideshow comes to define and challenge her very sense of identity. Alternatingly dark, poetic, and whimsical, the play is a searing portrait of Western culture seen through the eyes of a young Chinese woman.
