Get ready to experience culture and familial legacy like never before as visionary artist Jasmine Chen unveils her highly anticipated multidisciplinary performance, Jade Circle, at Gateway Theatre. Running from March 6 to 17, this world premiere promises a heartfelt experience through powerful music, captivating movement, and a narrative that seamlessly weaves between Mandarin and English.  This show is accessible to individuals who can understand only Mandarin, English, or both. As part of the show, subtitled text will be projected for audiences.

After the death of her grandmother, Jasmine recalls the fragments of Taiwanese children’s songs she was taught as a child. As a second-generation immigrant, she lost connection with her mother tongue through cultural assimilation. Feeling the loss of being unable to connect with her grandmother while she was still alive, Jasmine begins her journey of relearning Mandarin. Through interviews with her mother, she travels through memory to learn the hidden story of her grandmother.
