Ping Chong was born in 1946 and raised in New York's Chinatown. He began his theatre career with Meredith Monk, founding his own company in 1975, which later became Ping Chong and Company. He has created over fifty major works for the stage including Humboldt's Current, Nosferatu, Kind Ness and Undesirable Elements. For nearly three decades Ping Chong and his company have written and staged some of the most innovative and arresting examinations of other-ness on stages in America, Europe and Asia. His work, more than that of any other theatre artist, has explored the intersections between Asian cultures and American society now and throughout history.

Synopsis: | The piece is a multi-media dance theatre meditation on the fate of modern man, caught between his material existence and spiritual aspirations. It is inspired by the 18th century scientist and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg, who realized that science could not give him his wholeness or sense of spirituality, and subsequently wrote 30 volumes about the visions he had traveling to heaven and hell and back in his lifetime. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Devil You Know is a modern interpretation of the classic American short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster," about a poor farmer who sells his soul in exchange for financial prosperity. Using marionette and bunraku-style puppetry, revolving puppet stages, recorded dialogue and original music and multimedia projections, Ping Chong, Erik Sanko, and Jessica Grindstaff will transform this Faustian tale into a hilarious and haunting mediation on lost souls, fool's gold, and democracy's eternal promise for renewal. | |||||
