The Wedding Banquet

Immersive Screening Event

BY QUEEREAST

 

良辰已定,吉日待访,吾有薄酒,以谢亲朋,敬备喜筵,随候尊驾。
You are invited to Wai-Tung and Simon’s wedding – it’s Simon’s first but the second for Wei-Tung.

A reimagined story of Wei-Tung and Simon inspired by Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet set in a post-same-sex marriage era.

This special immersive screening event comes with a short live performance directed by London-based theatre-maker Xinxi Du, exploring an alternative version of Wei-Tung and Simon’s love story. It will be followed by a film screening of The Wedding Banquet, directed by three-time Oscar winner, Ang Lee in 1993.

The Wedding Banquet (1993, Taiwan) is a classic romantic comedy tells the story of Wai-Tung, a gay Taiwanese guy living in Manhattan, who resolves to marry a woman in order to appease his parents. But what begins as a convenient lie evolves into an elaborate farce when his parents decide to fly to America for the wedding.

A set of snacks will be provided in the event with vegan option available.
In collaboration with Queer East, an LGBTQ+ film festival showcasing queer cinema from East and Southeast Asia.
