“What is the future of humanity?”
WE ARE RAISING £6000 TO SEND OUR SHOW, ECHOES OF NÜWA: THE LAST HUMAN PROJECT, TO EDINBURGH FRINGE THIS YEAR!!!
Who are We?
We are Muddy Lolos, a dynamic theatre group formed by three innovative female actors and theatre makers—Chia-Yi Chan, Jinyu Dan and Qianyi Wang. Drawing on their rich Chinese cultural heritage, they are dedicated to revitalising ancient Chinese narratives and values for a modern audience through a female lens. Their work is characterised by a fearless blending of tradition and contemporary storytelling, aiming to spark dialogue and inspire audiences through fresh interpretations of time-honoured myths.
OUR story
When Nüwa created humanity, she believed they would live in joy and harmony forever. She mended the sky with five-colored stones, halted the great Catastrophe, and ascended—confident her work was complete. But thousands of years later, humanity obliterated itself with the press of a few tiny buttons. Nüwa never returned. Instead, she left her three minions—the Muddy Lolos—to take on the task of rebuilding. Through endless experiments, they tinker with the dimensions of humanity, searching for a version that can truly cherish life. After countless failures, one question remains: does humanity have a future?
