Wang Yuechi

"In China my face is treated like a sexual organ. It's not something that can be freely shown or circulated."

"I wanted to perform for people who speak Chinese, to introduce myself, showing them how I live, or think as someone who lived in China for 30 years."

"If something feels risky or dangerous, I find it interesting."

"I have no regrets because the space for stand-up in China has become 'much more confined' and the subjects are often 'very shallow'."

"My first reaction was relief because the show was based on reflections and realisations I'd had over the past few years, and I wanted to express how I truly felt."
