CHINESE FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The PuSh Festival presents William Yang’s China.

The PuSh Festival presents William Yang’s China.

Typically, listening to a 90-minute monologue accompanied by vacation photos isn’t our idea of a good time, but William Yang’s latest work – China – took us on a journey we wont soon forget.

Photographer/storyteller William Yang is Australian-born and returned to China as a stranger in his homeland to give us a unique peak behind the Great Wall. He took us through the streets of Beijing, up sacred mountains and through ancient temples.

But what makes China appeal to the gay audience is that Yang himself is gay, and provides a unique look at homosexuality in China. Combine that with Yang’s charismatic and humourous stage presence, a haunting live musical score by Nicholas Ng, and it all makes for a unique and thoroughly enjoyable night at the theatre.

The final two performances of China run tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 pm – and we have a pair of tickets to give away to Saturday night’s show. Email contest@pinq.ca to enter!
