Jackie Z welcomes you to A Taste of Hong Kong. Come join Jackie for a snack-sized tasting class of Hong Kong's best treats! Jackie will introduce you to famous foods such as curry fish balls, siu mai, and more, while sharing the highlights and history of Hong Kong. All the way from its colonial era to the present, this class will give you an intimate look at the pride and determination of Hong Kong people.
We're excited about bringing you this original show in association with our partners at VACT (Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre). It stars Derek Chan as Jackie. Richard Wolfe directs.
I’m very pleased to bring this joyful and heart felt play to life both here and in Toronto. It will be at Theatre Passe Muraille in May and will be the second original play produced by Pi to travel to Toronto this season.
Written by Anonymous, this project indirectly shines a light on the reality of self-censorship in Canada. With all the current talk of free speech, the playwright did not put their identity forward to claim authorship of this script because they are afraid of reprisals by the security services of a foreign government. In other words, some Canadian artists living in Canada don’t feel they have the artistic freedom to reflect their political views through artistic expression here in our country. This kind of coercion is a common page in every authoritarian’s playbook.
