"The Chinese Lady" at the Kitchen Theatre with House Fellow Stephen Kim

Upon arrival as the first Chinese woman on U.S. soil, Afong Moy has been put on display for the American public as "The Chinese Lady." She believes herself an ambassador to life in her native China however, to her visitors, she becomes their entertainment. As these dual truths become irreconcilable, Afong must reckon with herself and the history of her new home with startling discoveries. Lloyd Suh's poetic and subversively comedic tale offers a unique portrait of the United States, giving voice to our country's hidden history.
