happy yellow chicken
“Revolutionary in form and content; a rallying cry for dissidents.” —Stir
In these three interconnected, genre-defying plays, Derek Chan 陳嘉昊 emerges as one of the distinctive theatrical voices of his generation.
Fusing theatre, music, performance art, installation, and multimedia, Chicken Girl, yellow objects, and Happy Valley trace a deeply personal artistic journey through questions of home, displacement, memory, survival, and resistance. Across surreal adventures, dystopian futures, and DIY punk concerts, the recurring figure of Uncle Chan acts as guide, witness, and ghost, traversing the turbulent waves of a life in exile.
Riveting, unruly, and resolute, happy yellow chicken is a defiant provocation to persist in the face of cultural erasure.
“The stage is in upheaval and the ideas explode like shrapnel [in Happy Valley].”
“From the whimsical opening, it’s clear that Derek Chan’s Chicken Girl wants to eschew prosaic premises, wishing instead to probe the ontological dilemma of existence. A potpourri of oddball characters and occult connections, the play is a sportive meditation on essential human questions, striated by a unique blend of wordplay, humour, and the recondite.”
“[yellow objects is] revolutionary in form and content; a rallying cry for dissidents.”
