Description Ping Chong, who grew up in New York's Chinatown, understands that culture is made of the high and the low, the sacred and the profane. In his trademark style, Ping Chong mixes film clips, songs, music, dance, and stunning costumes designed by Byron Lars to examine our perceptions of one of the worl's oldest and richest cultures. The theatrical work covers an amazing spectrum of events including the Opium War, the 19th-century Chinese diaspora, and the shipwreck of the Golden Venture.
