A Chance Shadow is a poetic play inspired by the Chinese poet Xu Zhimo (1897~1931) and the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca (1898~1936). Xu was one of the first Chinese writers to successfully naturalize Western romantic forms into modern Chinese poetry and Lorca was a social activist who changed the world around him though his unique style of surrealism and theatricality. With their passion for literature, social reform and true love, they changed society. By using the elements of pop-up arts, Shadow Theater, Toy Theater and poetry, the show brings the audience into the poets’ romantic and historical worlds.

This show has appeared at International Poppentheater Festival Dordrecht, Holland (2010), New York Voice 4 Vision Puppet Festival(2009, 2011), International Festival of Puppet Theater Jerusalem, Israel (2011), The BRIDGE Progressive Arts Initiative Charlottesville, VA (2011), Puppetry at the Carriage House, New York (2012), and Close To You Puppet Festival Taipei, Taiwan (2012), Dixon Place Puppet Blok, New York (2011, 2013) and the Sandglass Theater New Visions Series, Vermont (2014)
