A woman dies in London and wakes in an afterlife divided by language. Assigned to an “English Heaven”, she must navigate memory, identity and belonging while slowly losing her mother tongue. Dear Lihua is a bilingual theatre piece blending English and Mandarin, exploring migration, assimilation and the emotional cost of translation. Combining text, movement and multimedia, the work invites audiences into an intimate and unsettling space between languages, where communication is fragile and meaning is never fixed.
