About the Project
Light is an intimate, one-woman play that delves into the profound bond between a father and daughter, weaving together love, memory, and connection across time. Written, directed, and performed by Xue “Snow” Zheng, the story takes audiences on an emotional journey through decades of shared moments, cultural traditions, and the shadows of loss.
The play uniquely incorporates traditional Chinese shadow puppetry, vibrant projections, and immersive experience. These elements breathe life into dreamlike flashbacks, heartfelt monologues, and a father’s poetic wisdom, represented by the metaphorical “light.”
Having touched hearts in cities worldwide, Light is a celebration of family, resilience, and the universal quest for meaning. It’s an unforgettable blend of storytelling, artistry, and cultural heritage that promises to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
Light offers audiences a deeply emotional and visually captivating experience, exploring universal themes of love, loss, and connection. Through the fusion of heartfelt storytelling and traditional Chinese shadow puppetry, the performance inspires viewers to cherish their relationships, honor memories, and find resilience in the face of life’s challenges. It’s a poignant reminder of the beauty of family bonds and the enduring light that guides us even in the darkest times.
