Unfolding over five chapters that feature a dazzling array of styles, Resurrection is a cascade of imagery united by a luminous mythopoetic conceit: in a sci-fi-coded world where people have lost the desire to dream in the hopes of prolonging life, rogue “fantasmers” continue to stoke their imaginations and exist within unreality. From this magical premise, the film sends its ever-morphing protagonist (Jackson Yee) through a series of genres, from Méliès-inflected silent fantasy to wartime thriller to con-artist buddy picture to millennial vampire romance—the latter depicted in one of Bi’s customary, and ever astonishing, single takes. Even within genre parameters, the director never takes the road well-traveled, offering jolts and marvels around every corner. Resurrection is one of the most audacious and ambitious gifts for cinematic thrill-seekers in many a moon.It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District (map) and tickets are available online.

Femininity. Sexuality. Perception. Expectation. Dressed in Red explores these ideas and our shifting self and social identities through a blend of movement and video performance. Inspired by Classical Chinese dance and contemporary movement, Dressed in Red reflects on Lucy’s experience of the complex relationship between how we see ourselves, how we present ourselves, and how others see us.
Utilizing video media and a costume that transforms throughout the performance, the dancers explore self-expression and connection/tension with their communities, within the lens of what it means to be feminine. Audiences witness an evolving narrative of feminine identity and are encouraged to contemplate their own experiences with their image, and how we perform our gender and sexuality.
The performances run 7:30 to 9:00 pm and include a post-show discussion. Tickets are available online. The Kelly-Strayhorn Theater's Alloy Studios is located at 5530 Penn Ave. in East Liberty (map).

From acclaimed director Diao Yinan, The Wild Goose Lake is the stunning follow-up to his 2014 Berlinale winning neo-noir Black Coal, Thin Ice. Toppling box office records in Diao’s native China, The Wild Goose Lake “cements his status as a master filmmaker with another ingenious crime epic” (Little White Lies). When small-time mob leader Zhou Zenong (Chinese superstar Hu Ge) accidentally kills a cop, a dead-or-alive bounty is placed on his head, forcing him on the lam from both the police as well as dangerous gangsters out for the reward. Hiding out in China’s densely populated (and deeply divided) city of Wuhan, Zhou becomes entangled with a beautiful, enigmatic woman, who has mysterious intentions of her own. Featuring gorgeous, neon-drenched cinematography and bursts of shocking, expertly choreographed action, The Wild Goose Lake is “spellbinding” (Rolling Stone), “brilliant" (Indiewire), and “downright Hitchcockian” (AV Club).
It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District and tickets are available online.

Jiaoying Summers recently released her Hulu comedy special What Specie Are You? Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” (2025), Summers shines in her debut stand-up hour as she explores what divides us, what unites us, and what belonging truly means. Drawing from her life as a first-generation immigrant, she turns cultural clashes, identity, and motherhood into razor-sharp comedy that resonates across continents.
An award-winning performer and inductee of the Asian Hall of Fame, Jiaoying is emerging as one of the most influential Asian voices in comedy. She made history as the first Chinese comedian to headline and sell out the Apollo Theater in New York City. With more than 1 billion views across social media and over 5 million followers, she is a digital powerhouse known for viral hits like her “Uber Karen” sketch and her comedic breakdowns of English names from a Chinese perspective.
Beyond the stage, Jiaoying is the creator and host of the hit podcast Tiger Mom, where she interviews comedians, artists, and cultural figures in intimate, unfiltered conversations. She is also a successful entrepreneur: the former Miss China now owns and operates The Hollywood Comedy and The Green Room Comedy Café, creating platforms for diverse and underrepresented comedic talent.
Jiaoying Summers delivers fearless, modern commentary on identity, race, and gender to audiences worldwide, making her one of the boldest, most dynamic, and unmissable comedians working today.
The very first Lao Sze Chuan opened in 1998 in Chicago’s Chinatown and has since become one of the most beloved Chinese restaurants nationwide. The brainchild of Sichuan-born Chef Tony Hu, Lao Sze Chuan prides itself on providing traditional Sichuan cuisine with high-quality ingredients. In 1999, Lao Sze Chuan was recognized by the Chicago Tribune as “One of the Best,” receiving a “three fork” rating that was considered a prominent accomplishment for Chinese restaurants at that time.It's located at 936 Sheraton Dr. in Mars, in what was most recently Max & Erma's (map). Work began on the spot in November 2024. This location is coming to the area by the restauranteur behind Wild Ninja Asian Grill in Oakland (2021-2022) and Dagu Rice Noodle in Squirrel Hill (2020-2025), in addition to Lao Sze Chuan, KyuRamen, Shinto, and Dagu Rice Noodle locations in Ohio.
Although Lao Sze Chuan has flourished since humble beginnings, our mission to offer, elevate, and promote gourmet authentic Chinese cuisine and provide exceptional customer service has never wavered. Our Grade A chefs are skillfully trained in Sichuan cuisine to provide the most authentic flavors at all locations. To this day, Lao Sze Chuan lives by the mantra “One Style For One Dish, A Hundred Dishes Have A Hundred Different Tastes,” a saying that keeps our most frequent customers coming back for more.
This presentation examines how contemporary Chinese artists transform the traditional handscroll format into a site of remediation within global art institutions. It analyzes specific works: Wang Qingsong’s The Night Revels of Lao Li (2000) transforms the handscroll into a monumental public spectacle, subverting its private viewing ritual. Hong Lei’s vitrine-displayed scroll, I dreamt of being killed by my father…(2000), fuses Daoist symbolism with psychoanalysis to process memory. Chen Chieh-jen’s mechanized Star Chart (2017) employs automated scrolling to critique capitalist discipline and technological surveillance. Drawing on media theory’s concept of remediation, I argue that these practices not only revive the handscroll’s narrative temporality but also expose the tensions between Chinese aesthetic traditions and Western institutional frameworks. By turning the handscroll into a site of cross-cultural translation, these artists reveal how visual media negotiate between tradition and modernity, intimacy and spectacle, and local and global systems of meaning. This project illuminates how Chinese contemporary art challenges Western-centric paradigms and offers new ways to understand cultural exchange and representation in an age of global visual circulation.It takes place from 12:00 to 12:50 pm in 202 Frick Fine Arts in Oakland (map).

In Chinese folklore, a “Yao” is an animal spirit. A wild young pig Yao from Langlang Mountain dreams of joining the King’s Cave, but after offending the King, he has no choice but to leave Langlang Mountain. He then teams up with his friends, namely the Toad Yao, Weasel Yao, and Orangutan Yao, to form a “grassroots scripture-seeking group.” They disguise themselves as Monk Tang and his disciples, hurrying to the Western Paradise to fetch the sacred Buddhist scriptures ahead of the real pilgrim team. Along the way, they go through absurd adventures, each achieving their own growth and finally gaining the “true scriptures” that belong to themselves.It plays locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront and tickets are available online.
