In the former Indochina of the French colonial era, in a big city in haze and heat, lives a young woman with a pink man's hat and gold shoes. Her father has left the family, her mother is unstable, her brothers are highly problematic. In the noise of the city, she meets a rich Chinese man. Their love is hopeless, but it lasts a lifetime despite all conventions, even though she leaves the country. Radio silence—except for a single phone call at the end. The choreography of this ballet strikes at the very heart of existence and exposes the core of all human emotions.
Tickets are CHF 30-130 for adults and CHF 20 for youths and students.
