About this Event
Step into the world of Yanzilou, a historical dance drama set in the vibrant Tang Dynasty, offering a captivating look at the lives of courtesans in ancient China. Originally designed as an immersive virtual RPG experience with thousands of interactive paths, this screening will present two possible journeys through the forgotten stories of these remarkable women.
Created by Singapore's all-female arts collective, The Hanfugirls, Yanzilou: Forgotten Tales was the world’s first virtual interactive historical dance drama when it premiered in 2021. The production brings to life the rich culture and artistry of a Tang-era entertainment house, showcasing traditional craftsmanship, intricate costumes, and cross-cultural exchange.
In this unique screening, you’ll witness a powerful retelling of the lives of courtesans, who were among the most educated yet marginalized women in history. With themes of empowerment and cultural cosmopolitanism, the film shines a light on their resilience and influence in a male-dominated society.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a visually stunning journey through history, even as just two paths out of thousands unfold on screen.
