Everyone knows Mulan the Disney Princess; few know Mulan the folk hero, and fewer still know Mulan the person. Or really, what Mulan's Asian parents thought they were getting up to. Peel back the curtain of heteronormativity and step into the realm of Asian mythology and folklore. Explore the queerness behind the tales and watch our artists navigate what it means to be trans and Asian.
Devised by award-losing Hong Kong drag artist Mild Peril, and showcasing the talents of alternative Asian drag and cabaret stars, join us for a unique evening that blends cabaret and theatre. Humorous, defiant, bloody and heartwrenching – this is the version Disney would never dare make.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
