About

Burn incense and paper money in honor of Mazu, Queen of Heaven and goddess of the sea and become part of a almost completely unknown religious holiday. Mazu is worshiped by those who have strong sea-faring traditions, as well as migrant communities. Feel special knowing you are the only non-native audience member as the queen's devotees stage theater-performances of their own creation.
