Yang-May Ooi, Jessica Higgs

Bound Feet Blues: A Life Told In Shoes is written and performed by Yang-May Ooi, directed by Jessica Higgs, produced by Eldarin Yeong and designed by Hua Tan.

Bound Feet Blues is Yang-May's personal story centered on the tradition of foot binding, as practiced by her great-grandmother. This unconventional memoir interweaves Yang-May's story with those of the women in her family to create a rich, engaging show.

Bound Feet Blues explores Yang-May's experiences of being a Chinese-Malaysian woman in the UK, her unique coming out story, cultural reflections of what it means to be a woman, and an exploration into mother-daughter relationships.
