Hot Pot 火鍋
by Hongwei Bao (DIY Poet)
Auka Productions
25th June Performing Arts Studio, Lakeside Arts, Nottingham 25th June
7:30 pm
In this tale of friendship, love, and authenticity, four Chinese friends reunite at a hot pot restaurant after the Covid pandemic.
As they reminisce and boast of their achievements, idealism fades into pragmatism. Will their friendships endure? Can old flames reignite? Amidst a queer-unfriendly environment, will they find the courage to discuss gay sexuality openly?
A Q&A discussion will follow the performance, providing a platform to explore East Asian LGBTQ+ narratives and their representation in the UK and the Western world. The discussion will be chaired by Dr Xing Huang, a Chinese queer studies scholar from the University of Nottingham.
