Members of Auckland's New Zealand Chinese community are being invited up onto Q Theatre's stage to tell their personal stories. They range from high school students to grandparents... performers through to a women's refuge worker.
Alice Canton wants her new documentary theatre piece OTHER (chinese) to ask some big questions - What is Chinese? What is being Chinese? What is not Chinese? It follows a solo play she performed last year WHITE/OTHER, that also looked hard at Chinese identity in New Zealand. This time, Alice tells Lynn Freeman, she's encouraging others to share their experiences and stories directly to the audience.
