Pink Fang creates art at the intersection of performance, community building and social change, rooted in the ethos and artistic legacy of Ping Chong.

10/28/2026

Our education manager, Chaesong Kim, loves that Pink Fang is a place for asking impossible questions through theater: how can we embody and celebrate a 50-year artistic legacy in a live performance? How can we represent AAPI history and identity in a theater curriculum for NYC public schools? How can theater help us encounter histories of enforced disappearances during the Armed Conflict in Nepal?

For , Chaesong looks back on three projects that try to answer these questions: performing in Ping Chong’s “Lazarus 1972-2022,” Ping’s last production before his retirement and a remount of his first directing work; co-authoring “Hidden Voices, Cultural Connections: AAPI Experience – Documentary Theater in the style of Ping Chong and Company,” a 2025 public school curriculum; and facilitating a fall 2026 documentary theater workshop through Civil Peace Service Nepal at Kumbhar Adda Displaced People’s Memorial Park, which culminated in a performance responding to the history embedded in the park’s architecture and memory object archive.

Chaesong first joined Pink Fang in 2016 as an intern, and after serving as a communications assistant, teaching artist, and performer throughout the years, they have been Education Manager since September 2025. Their favourite part of the job is seeing the communal joy and trust students build over the course of our arts-in-education residency.

They recently returned from Nepal and are now hard at work documenting their workshop curriculum into a shared resource for Mandala Theatre Company drama school. Outside of Pink Fang, Chaesong enjoys tea ceremonies, nature strolls, and yoga. They’re looking forward to directing a forthcoming reading of a vampire musical set in Korea under Japanese occupation.

MADE IN ORANGE: Our Stories. Our Voices. opens this weekend for four performances only!

Pink Fang’s latest production is made in partnership with Luna Stage and created through interviews with residents of Orange, New Jersey. Written and directed by Pink Fang Artistic Director, Engagement Sara Zatz, in collaboration with performers Daniel Nigro, Jr., Avril Bogle, Nyatché Martha, and Dacheler Evra.

This interview-based production brings together four members of the Orange community, ranging in age from 14-76, to share their true stories and perspectives on what it means to “be from” Orange. From the days when Orange was known as Hat City, to the radical social upheavals of the 1960s and the devastation wrought by the building of I-280, to the challenges facing immigrant and working class communities of Orange today, MADE IN ORANGE invites us to reflect on what what brings people to a community, and what is needed for them to stay and thrive.

Performances take place in community spaces throughout Orange: Orange House Cafe (October 23), The HUUB (October 24 and 25) and Inner City Cafe (October 26). Free tickets are available now: https://www.onthestage.tickets/show/luna-stage/6a6cb8dd57e40b187808854e/tickets #/productions-view

MADE IN ORANGE is supported by a grant from New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s ART Phase II program.

Introducing , a new series spotlighting the people behind Pink Fang’s work. First up is Mei Ann Teo!

Mei Ann is our Artistic Director, New Work, now in their fourth year with Pink Fang. What they love most about the job is making art with the team and multihyphenate artists, plus enjoying staff potlucks and dim sum with Ping Chong!

Two projects have stayed with them over the years. Undesirable Elements: Ukraine (2023) opened up new understanding of the war through the life experiences of Pink Fang’s East Village neighbors, and returning to Lazarus 1972-2022 as a foundational text while co-creating The Table pushed them to take more risks and find new possibilities for image as story.

Right now, Mei Ann is looking ahead to The Table’s remount at Under The Radar Festival in January, with development work underway alongside reid tang and Sugar Vendil.

Outside of Pink Fang, they are also directing Josep Maria Miró’s The Nicest Body Ever Seen Around These Parts at The Play Company with Rachel Crowl, opening this week. They love international adventures and thrillseeking activities.

Stay tuned for more features to come as we introduce you to the rest of the Pink Fang team!

Today is Ping Chong’s 80th birthday.

Ping was born in Toronto, Canada in 1946, moving to New York City with his family a few months later. Raised in Chinatown, he made his first independent theater production, Lazarus, in 1972 at the age of 26. He formed Fiji Theater Company, later known as Ping Chong and Company, in 1975.

During the next five decades, Ping created more than 100 multidisciplinary productions, exploring the collisions and connections of history, culture, art, and technology in our increasingly globalised world. His productions have traversed stories and histories from New York to Alaska, from Japan to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and even to outer space. In 2014, President Barack Obama presented him with the National Medal of Arts.

Today Pink Fang celebrates Ping’s ethos of boundary breaking and artistic innovation, stewards his legacy, and continues his directive, adapted from E. M. Forster, to “only connect.” Every artistic and educational project we take on, we’re asking the same questions he began asking in the 1970s: who gets to tell their story, who gets heard, and how.

Please join us in wishing Ping a very happy 80th!

After a well-received June run at The Gym at Judson Memorial Church - New York City, The Table is returning for a full remount from January 17 to 31, 2027, this time as part of Under The Radar Festival!

The Table follows a woman chasing finish lines that keep pulling out of reach, discarding the ordinary tools of living as she goes. Built and dismantled across the space of 50 minutes, the show lives inside the question: what is enough?

The Table is co-created by Mei Ann Teo and Erika Chong Shuch, with choreography by Erika. Our returning performers are Ching Valdes-Aran, maura nguyễn donohue, Rami Margron, Shannon Yu, and Julia Gu. The creative team includes set and costume design by Peiyi Wong, lighting design by Tuçe Yasak, projection design by Hao Bai, sound design by Justin Hicks, and dramaturgy by Tomi Tsunoda.

In its first run, reviewers called The Table “an experiment in testing the limits of endurance and desire” (ThINKingDANCE) and “fearless, vulnerable, [grounded] in humanity” (Culturebot).

The 2027 edition of Under the Radar runs more than 25 productions across New York City in January. Tickets are on sale now, with early bird pricing $10 off through November 9 (code: EARLYBIRD27). Don’t miss this chance to return to The Table: https://pinkfang.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F55581

Applications are open for Radical Scenic and Media Design, a one-day workshop with Pink Fang’s Founder and Artistic Director Emeritus Ping Chong, presented with Hunter College’s Department of Theatre!

Pink Fang is partnering with Mandala Theatre Nepal and GIZ Nepal this fall on a new documentary theatre workshop in Bardiya, Nepal. Led by Pink Fang Education Manager Chaesong Kim, twenty participants, including theatre artists from Kathmandu and community members and activists from across Nepal, will spend two weeks building a site-responsive performance from Kumbhar Adda Disappeared People’s Memorial Park’s archive of memory objects.

Chaesong will work with participants using Pink Fang’s documentary theatre practices and other methods in week one, then collaborate with participants to generate a final performance rooted in their lived experiences in week two. This project connects the three pillars of our mission—community-based processes, education, and new work creation—to ask, “How can theater help us encounter histories of enforced disappearances?”

The final performance is on October 8 at Kumbhar Adda Memorial Park. Learn more about our first international partnership as Pink Fang: pinkfang.org/about/news/mandala

In a new interview with Being Patient Alzheimer's, co-creators Sara Zatz and Sherrine Azab sit down with Mark Niu for a conversation about making ’s production, Memory Generation.

Sara and Sherrine talk about staging Memory Generation inside a memory cafe, and why they wanted the audience seated at cafe tables with the action moving around them. They discuss working with performers who have their own caregiving histories, and why that mattered more to them than performance experience alone. They also get into the questions of consent that shaped whose stories made it into the script, including Sara’s decision to include recorded conversations with her father. Finally, don’t miss a preview of what’s next for Memory Generation, including plans to remount the piece in Detroit in 2027 with new interviews woven in!

Thank you for hosting us, Being Patient! Watch the full interview: https://beingpatient.com/inside-memory-generation-an-interactive-theater-work-about-living-with-dementia/
