The audience discussion following Lisa’s Land of Smiles revolves around (cultural) relationships, expectations and prejudices. Following on from the characters Mi and Sou-Chong in Franz Leh\u00e1r’s operetta, but above all in the new adaptation by Elisabeth Pape and Abig\u00e9l Varga, we talk to the performer Vivian Yau (Hong Kong) about her personal experiences in the cultural sector and in the musical representation of Asia in the West. In conversation with the ethnomusicologist Dr Yongfei Du, the individual will be placed in a larger context and stereotypes and internalised racism will be explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
