A friendship of life and death is the first ever Chinese Opera physical theatre piece to be  presented in Australia. Drawing upon a Ming dynasty story Yang Jiao'ai Lays Down His Life for  the Sake of Friendship from our rich heritage, a small ensemble of performers brings to life a  journey of companionship and devotion. Come and participate in this bold attempt in an under-explored area, which crosses cultural bridges and meeting points in theatre making.

Presented by Cross Encounters - Melbourne first and only fully accredited Chinese-Australian performing arts organisation.
