Description Two older works by Kai Tai Chan. My Father's House examines the emotional life of an ordinary Australian family. Using minimal movement, the performers enact the ritual of family life. Ah Q Goes West is one of the most popular works. Using the character of Ah Q, a chinese everyman played by Kai Tai, the work uses a series of short scenes to highlight the differences between East and West.
