Power Move: Mulan's Tea Party

  • Free
  • Music

Step into a world where ancient legend meets the modern magic of Queer Asian Excellence.

Charlie Wan and Dyan Tai present: Mulan's Tea Party – a bold new experience merging dance, drag, and live music into a kaleidoscopic celebration of queer Asian identity.

This 20-minute live performance features original compositions by Dyan Tai – renowned Malaysian-Chinese hyperpop artist and founder of Worship Queer Collective – alongside electrifying choreography and curation by Naarm-based performer and producer Charlie Wan. Together, these two visionary non-binary artists pay homage to the story of Mulan, reimagined through a contemporary lens of gender fluidity, cultural pride, and artistic rebellion.

This is more than a performance – it's a love letter to our younger selves who searched for reflections in ancient myths. It’s a reminder that queerness and culture do not cancel each other out – they can blossom together.
