Event Description
A Solo Performance about Tracing Roots and Finding Home
(performed in English; 1 hour performance followed by a discussion)
Experience a heartfelt, personal story of migration and self-discovery as Chan Yuk-Lan brings to life this solo performance. Set between Hong Kong and the UK, this intimate performance shares Chan’s experiences of the struggles and discoveries that come with starting anew.
Leaving behind the politically charged landscape of Hong Kong, Chan navigates life in Britain, all while grappling with the legacy of her late father, Old Bean, whose presence lingers in memory and tradition. (Old Bean, 老豆, is an affectionate term HongKongers use for their fathers.) With evocative storytelling, Chan weaves together narratives of displacement, adaptation and the small moments that shape our sense of identity and belonging.
Whether you have lived the immigrant journey or are simply drawn to stories of resilience and identity, this performance invites you into a world of reflection, connections and the search for the meaning of home.
