Farewell, and Erase is an original multilingual ethnodrama and participatory theatre work written and directed by Geboli Long and produced by JC Chang. Built from real interviews, archival fragments, and theatrical reconstruction, the piece transforms cultural memory and the afterlives of Farewell My Concubine into a cross-cultural theatrical encounter about identity, survival, and what remains in an age of erasure.
Farewell, and Erase draws on more than 50 hours of interviews conducted across China and the U.S., weaving together documentary voices, personal testimony, and symbolic staging into a polyphonic theatrical encounter shaped by the complex afterlives of Chinese culture as it continues to circulate across regions and generations in the era of globalization. Moving between realism and ritual, memory and the contemporary moment, the work explores questions of cultural inheritance, precarity, identity, and public encounter, inviting audiences not only to witness, but to enter a shared space of reflection and participation.
