An intimate show that in the serenity of a meeting for “un tea” deals with a very complex and current, the relationship between two different cultures, between the West and the East. A visual artist who through her creations, precious ceramic cups painted by hand, tells a little-known episode of history combining drawing, poetry and performance. The routes of the tea and opium trade, stories of power, conflicts, colonizations, events that often seem disconnected but that have unleashed important consequences for today’s economic policies.
