And the time for this unifying show CHINA GIRL is now! In keeping with the title, the innovative Acrobatical show concept presents the high art of Chinese acrobatics on a soundtrack of live highlights from the musical oeuvre of pop icon David Bowie.
The plot is a transposition of William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet to New York City at the turn of the millennium. The love story between Dou Dou and Roberto takes place against a backdrop of constant conflict between rival ethnic groups, the westernized inhabitants of "Little Italy" and the Chinese immigrants. Eternal love and a fatal enmity between the run-down backyards, cookshops, junk stores and high-end restaurants of Manhattan's Chinatown.
