Film Screening: Havana Divas

Two stage sisters living in an era of revolution; four opera trips crossing the ocean of time.

Havana Divas offers a window into over 170 years of Chinese migration to Cuba. Through present-day interviews, precious photographs, and archival footage, director S. Louisa Wei explores the shifting culture of Cantonese opera through a historical time and place. The film reveals the female spirit of the two stage sisters and makes an important contribution to a growing body of films documenting female artists and performers within the Chinese diaspora.

Join us for a special screening of Havana Divas, followed by a Q&A with director S. Louisa Wei.
