Details

A saga of epic proportions - spanning 75 years, from 1910 - 1985, and taking in seven time zones, two world wars and three generations. The story deftly interweaves several narratives, stemming from the fortunes (and misfortunes) of two, young women living in the former Chinese quarter of Quebec. Through their flights of fancy into a mythical China, via the many people who touch their lives, this dazzling production explores the changing cultural identities of several nations. 325 mins including 3 intervals. The Barbican Theatre auditorium is transformed for this production, with a limited number of seats. With English surtitles.
