SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FOR
AFONG MOY – female, Chinese, plays age 14-60s
ATUNG – male, Chinese, older than Afong

SYNOPSIS
The real story Afong Moy, a Chinese woman displayed as a living exhibit in 1800s America to sell Chinese imports. Told in first person from her point of view, she recounts a half-century of performing her culture to curious onlookers and consumers, with only the company of her translator Atung. Her aspirations shift with the passing of time as she discovers what it means to reclaim her story. The Chinese Lady is a funny, heartbreaking, and devastatingly contemporary portrait of America through the unflinching gaze of a Chinese woman.
