This Time is Different (work in progress) by Zhou Ning

This Time is Different is a one-hour live performance by artist Zhou Ning, blending music, stand-up, and storytelling. Through nine songs, personal confessions, and dark humour, Ning explores identity, relationships, trauma, and emotional growth about her twenties. The show transforms intimate, sometimes awkward experiences into moments that are both touching and absurdly funny. This work-in-progress presentation offers a glimpse of the full-length piece, sitting somewhere between a music concert and a comedy show: an honest, witty, and strangely hopeful journey through emotional chaos.
