Lucky Ping-Pong Dragon Karaoke

​

(In collaboration with Howl Yuan, Zhiyue Hu and Mengting Zhuo)

Duration: 90 mins

​

Lucky Dragon Ping Pong Karaoke is a performative karaoke event presented by four Pan-Asian artists who discuss issues around authenticity and identity through solo works. Audiences are invited to vote which artist they want to perform, with choices including cabaret, cooking, fortune-telling, singing and some intense screams. Mixing performance acts, dance and popular hits in a karaoke room in Chinatown, this 18+ sited performance sets out to challenge stereotypes of ‘Chineseness’.

 

Devised and performed by Gasp-C (Burong Zeng, Howl Yuan, Mengting Zhuo & Zhiyue Hu).

  

This event contains foods/drinks, partial nudity, excessive noise and the possibility of getting wet. Earplugs and ponchos will be provided.
