    Presented by Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe at Suzanne Roberts Theatre

    From China’s preeminent experimental theater artist Danny Yung come three ruminations on the experiences of significant Chinese opera artists who have traveled to the West. It is an investigation of where the ultra-traditional and avant-garde meet, national art forms journey to new lands, and the boundaries of culture become blurred. Each program mixes conversation, video and live demonstration by performer Shangping Xiao, who has trained in traditional Chinese Kun and Beijing Opera performance methods. Each show is a distinct program. See the Festival Guide and www.livearts-fringe.org for details. Journey to the West was made possible with support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Dance Advance. Zuni Icosahedron is financially supported by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
