Friday, 21st June 2024 at Soho Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman A postdramatic gig theatre fever dream - in which the audience is invited to witness a fraught navigation through a paradoxical mix of identities - The Dao of Unrepresentative British Chinese Experience is, what I would consider to be, High Art.
