The Madonna of Asia
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
28 April - 2 May 2026
The New Theatre presents THE MADONNA OF ASIA in association with LemonSoap Productions - a play inspired by the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.

THE MADONNA OF ASIA is a new play that weaves together live performance, vibrant projection and multilingual storytelling. Moving between myth and memory, this piece traces a woman's journey from icon to exile - and back to herself.

Once Asia’s brightest star, Rin Asari (Mai Ishikawa) was poised for global fame with the release of her first film in English. But soon after, she vanished. It’s 2014. Rin, in her forties, lives quietly in Dublin. By chance, she connects with Tara (Clare Barrett), a woman living in Hong Kong, bringing up the past she has tried to forget. When Rin receives an offer to return to the screen, she must confront what she left behind.

Performed in English, Japanese and Cantonese (with surtitles).
