If you know Cinderella, you know Ye Xian. Predating the European fairy tale, the Chinese folk story follows a path familiar to many in search of a place to belong.

Combining contemporary music, folk traditions and the lived experiences of British-Chinese communities, composer Alex Ho presents an intimate reflection on Ye Xian’s journey between and beyond different cultures.

He pays homage to the beautiful complexities of diasporic identity, weaving together an intricate tapestry of sounds, memories and dreams, imagining a more hopeful future for Ye Xian and those who come after.

Supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council, this performance is a new adaptation of Untold, a music theatre piece co-conceived by Alex Ho and Southbank Artist-in-Residence Julia Cheng, produced by Muziektheater Transparent and Alex Ho as the winner of the FEDORA Opera Prize Protected content , supported by The Silver Company.
