Theatertreffen 2025 | Forum Theatertreffen 1965–2025

Wang Chong gets probably more around than any other Chinese theatre director, being a global nomad who, while stopping off in Berlin, presents a moving play that is also an artistic manifesto.



We can’t really tell you what this show is about. Why the mystery? Well, we can’t really tell you that either. So, what can we tell you? We can tell you that this performance is an intimate and unexpected solo about creative risk-taking. Wang Chong finds himself alone on stage presenting a personal manifesto about making art at home and abroad: a ‘peek through a keyhole’ performance with as many questions as answers.


“Made in China 2.0” is not only an illuminating portrait of family and popular culture; it is also a moving examination of the role of the artist and provocateur in uncertain times.


"Made in China 2.0" premiered in Boston in 2023 and has had more than 60 performances in countries on five continents, including the U.S., Australia, the Netherlands, Tanzania, Malaysia, Cambodia, Mexico and Cuba.
