OTHER [chinese]

Following on from the success of her 2016 WHITE/OTHER season at The Basement, writer and director Alice Canton delves even deeper into the uncomfortable and nuanced conversation about race in OTHER [chinese].

Canton has spent the year in workshops with actors and non-actors from various different Chinese communities connecting and exploring what it is to be Chinese in Auckland, here and now.

Experience the realisation of these stories and conversations in OTHER [chinese], where Canton invites up to 100 performers on stage every night for this large-scale documentary theatre.

OTHER [chinese] opens up conversations in order to create meaningful change in the world, and challenges the many forms of cultural mis-representation, discrimination and invisibility that exists around Chinese identity.

“A powerfully contradictory message that will get under your skin.” (Nathan Joe, Theatrescenes review of WHITE/OTHER)

“surreal, open, surprising and – yet again – clever.” (Janet McAllister, NZHerald review of WHITE/OTHER)
