皮影戲與演後座談：序曲（第二部）| Shadow Puppet Performance & Talkback: Prologue Part II

歡迎前來欣賞一場以本地美籍華人長者的故事為靈感創作的皮影戲表演。

假如你不得不背井離鄉，你的行囊會帶上哪些東西？你又會有怎樣的感受？這些問題正是《序曲（第二部）》的主題思想。這是一場獨特的皮影戲表演，將於查塔姆廣場圖書館 (Chatham Square Library) 現場為觀眾帶來精彩的視聽享受。

這場演出追隨布魯克林華裔女性的心路歷程，透過皮影戲、道具和音樂來分享她們自己的故事。皮影戲由鄭淑芸和袁鳳蘭創作並表演，帶領觀眾深入探討移民群體和在異國他鄉紮根的複雜情感。

演出長約 35 分鐘，隨後將以粵語舉行與表演者的演後座談。

如何參加 | 請註冊報名以預訂現場門票。演出前 30 分鐘開始入場。我們常常超售門票以確保座無虛席，因此，請務必提前到場。臨近開場前尚未有人到座的預留座位將被釋放，屆時或許會有額外座位可供安排。

Experience a shadow puppet performance inspired by the stories of local Chinese-American elders.

If you had to move to a faraway place, what would you pack? How would you feel? These questions are at the heart of Prologue Part II, a unique shadow puppet performance hosted in person at Chatham Square Library. 

This performance follows the journeys of Chinese women from Brooklyn as they share their stories through shadow play, object manipulation, and music. Created and performed by Spica Wobbe and Margaret Yuen, this captivating show explores the complex emotions of immigration and building new roots in another country. 

The performance will run for approximately 35 minutes, followed by a talkback with the performers presented in Cantonese.
