Ping Chong Tickets

Ping Chong is a pioneering performer and artist whose work intersects theatre, documentary practice, and puppetry. Born October 2, 1946 in Toronto and raised in New York City's Chinatown, he has shaped contemporary performance with a focus on personal histories, community voices, and innovative staging. As the founder of Ping Chong + Company in 1975, he built a platform for experimental theatre that continues to influence artists worldwide. In 2025, his organization rebranded to Pink Fang, aligning with ongoing archival and commissioned work across New York and beyond.

From the late 1980s onward, Chong’s ground-breaking Undesirable Elements series (begun in 1992) invited participants and audiences to engage with memory, identity, and marginalized stories through intimate, documentary-informed theatre. He has also created acclaimed puppet theatre works like Kwaidan and Cathay, blending visual storytelling with rigorous research and social insight. His career has earned major recognitions, including two OBIE Awards for sustained achievement and the U.S. National Medal of Arts in 2014. His work continues to inspire diverse performances and interdisciplinary collaborations.

As of 2025, Chong remains actively engaged in archival projects, screenings, and performances in New York, including the Ping Chong Archival Symposium at Hunter College and related events.
