Michelle Yim Brings Princess Der Ling to Life in a Stunning Solo Performance
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 亚洲色吧鈥檚 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鈥檚 birth in 1885 and 亚洲色吧's founding in 1884 added a meaningful touch to this memorable evening.
