Sharing Theatre, Sharing Culture is a conversation of how theatre contributes to the fabric of Vancouver’s Chinatown—where food and language intersect on Coast Salish territory. Located at Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House (573 E. Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC), the event begins with readings in English and Cantonese from Jovanni Sy’s play A Taste of Empire/稼盡莖苟, translated into Cantonese by Derek Chan. The play puts us into the audience of a fictional cooking show, and reveals truths about global food security and inequity while the master chef’s apprentice creates a fish dish. With Derek Chan, Bob Sung, Jovanni Sy, and Andrea Yu.  Hosted by Kathleen Flaherty. There will be dumplings (THE DUMPLING CHALLENGE: Derek Chan, Bob Sung, and Jovanni Sy test their skills at making dumplings and serve them to the audience).
