Lucky Ping-Pong Dragon Karaoke is a collective of performances created by 4 pan-Chinese artists based in different cities in Britain, each of whom presents two pieces to play with the subjects of identity, consumption and objectification.
We adapt the format of karaoke, in which people choose their favourite songs to sing along with. Similarly, in our ‘Karaoke’, audiences are invited to choose whom they fancy and which piece(s) they would like to see in sequence, from a pool of 8 diverse pieces. The pieces are a mix of serious and comedic content, varying from cabaret, live art, 1-to-1 engagement, spoken words and video art. More at: https://lppdk.wordpress.com
The two pieces by Mengting Zhuo are:
簽(QIAN): A performative lecture about I-Ching's fortune telling method as well as a divination demonstration.
錢(QIAN): An exchange of opinion and money (one sterling pound per minute).
PRESS REVIEW
'[Mengting's] conversation was sprinkled with economic theories and captivated the audience with its insight and light humor.' - Theatre Times
Gasp-C (Golden arches & silver pan Chinese) is a not-so-old pan-Chinese performance group based in England.Having undertaken theatre studies and been making their own work in the UK, they come together with a collective intention to challenge the representation of ‘Chineseness’.
Gasp-C are: Burong Zeng, General West, Mengting Zhuo and Zhiyue Hu.
