The White Lotus is a powerful, new bilingual, movement-led production that explores the Chinese diaspora’s identity through the parallel journeys of pioneering dancer Dai Ailian and a contemporary British-Chinese artist reconnecting with her cultural heritage.

Blending shadow puppetry, Chinese opera movement, and the meditative artistry of ink painting, The White Lotus is a rich, movement-driven investigation into legacy, intergenerational trauma, and diasporic connection across time and space.
