Through song, speech, stylized movement, makeup, and costume, the nandan artists of the Chinese opera have transformed themselves into maidens, dowagers, prostitutes, and women warriors. Shanghai artist Mou Yuandi, one of the last nandan in China, speaks of his life as a female impersonator and demonstrates his art of transformation.
Presented by the UCLA Confucius Institute and UCLA Hammer Museum.
