The Chinese Lady at Stages
Stages presents Lloyd Suh’s The Chinese Lady, Feb. 27-March 26, 2026.
“Inspired by the true story of the first Chinese woman to step foot in America in 1834, The Chinese Lady, is a critically-acclaimed tale of dark poetic whimsy and a unique portrait of the United States as seen through the eyes of 14-year-old Afong Moy who was immediately put on display as a living exhibit for a public who were mesmerized by her exotic ways and horrified by her tiny, bound feet. The Chinese Lady, in turn, puts on display the impressions of a young country struggling with how to define itself.”…
