poetry translations
Using the works of 10 ancient poets and six current translators, GOLD JADE WAY reimagines old wisdom in a new way: a sung-through, dance-focused, “Madama Butterfly” meets “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

DEVELOPMENT
Now more than ever, we need projects that reach across cultural divides and bring collaborators of all ethnicities, genders, races and religions together. GOLD JADE WAY was inspired by several ancient Chinese poets whose writings have touched people worldwide for centuries. Because…
