Since its foundation in 1995, Border Crossings has presented many productions drawing from a range of cultural traditions,
and serving a variety of audiences across Britain's diverse communities and elsewhere.
Two years in the making, this new devised piece is a pioneering co-production with the all-female Shanghai Yue Opera Company, China. Performing at Riverside Studios 13th September-1st October 2006.
Supported by Arts Council England, Columbia Foundation and UNESCO. Collaboration facilitated by the British Council`s Collaboration through Culture programme. Developed with Central School of Speech and Drama and Theatre Futures.
Shanghai 2006. The fastest growing city in Asia, beating heart of China`s economic dragon and theatre of cultural extremes.
An Englishman flies in, searching for his missing daughter. A female private detective trawls the bars and night-clubs. And on the Yue-ju stage, two women dressed as men declare their passion in the ancient story of The Butterfly Lovers.
In such a place and time is anything as it seems?
Border Crossings` latest production is a multicultural, multimedia collision of East and West. Two years in the making, Dis-Orientations is the result of a ground-breaking collaboration with the all-female Yue Opera of Shanghai and, for the first time in the UK, features Yue opera stars Zhang Ruihong and Ma Haili.
