Nüshu: Written for Her, on Her, by Her
Nüshu: Written for Her, on Her, by Her
Rewrite her stories. Write her. A one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary performance
rooted in Nüshu, the secret script of Chinese women. In this ritualistic
solo work, writer and performer Jiayi Chen uses her body as a living
scroll, inscribing ancient characters onto her skin with traditional ink.
Through live body calligraphy, inspiring contemporary dance and an
original soundscape, the piece becomes a haunting altar of memory, grief
and feminine resistance. The piece is a tribute to the missing women in
Jiayi’s life and a bold act of rewriting silenced histories through the
body and voice.
