nian is here!  ​年到了

​
​2022-23
Performance, 25 minutes
​

Responding to the legend that the monster Nian(年) comes down to attack the villagers during the Lunar New Year, the trio of Have You Eaten Yet? Collective asks what brings the monstrosity in our times. They will take you through the journey of exorcism that laughs off anti-Asian hatred in solidarity, and generously allows your misbehaviour. Expect sneezy spices, Tao magic, manicured middle fingers en masse and money rain!

Exhibitions & events:
(Performance)  29 January 2022: ​Lunar New Year Festival, Deptford X  (London)
(Exhibition)  1-25 February 2022: Deptford X (London)
(Performance)  20 January 2023:  Lunar Late: Year of the Queer Rabbit, Matchstick Piehouse (London)
