Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Last night, Michelle Yim captivated the audience in Pontio with her powerful portrayal of Princess Der Ling, a remarkable historical figure from the Qing Dynasty. This unforgettable solo performance, presented by Red Dragon Fly Productions, was part of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s 140th-anniversary celebrations organised by the Confucius Institute.

Through vibrant storytelling, heartfelt emotion, and a touch of humour, Michelle illuminated the life of Princess Der Ling, exploring themes of gender equality, cultural identity, and resilience. The connection between Princess Der Ling’s birth in 1885 and Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­'s founding in 1884 added a meaningful touch to this memorable evening.

A huge thank you to Gwenan Hine, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ university secretary, for her warm welcome speech, which set the tone for this inspiring event.

The production resonated deeply with the audience, who expressed their admiration for Yim’s talent and passion. Many attendees engaged in lively discussions and offered their congratulations, reflecting the profound impact of her performance.

Michelle’s performance was a triumph and a testament to the power of theatre to educate, inspire, and connect across generations. What a fitting celebration of our shared history and cultural heritage!
