- Abstract
The article discusses the difficulties in encouraging migrant parents and their children in the Beiyaowan village near Shanghai, China to participate in the community-based theatre project "Xiwang Beiyaowan/Hope for Beiyaowan," which tells the story about a residential house being torn down. Clare Dolan, the artist from the Bread & Puppet Theatre in Vermont, wanted to help the migrant families prevent the demolition of their homes. The outcome of the performance is discussed.
