Jiazheng Li

Director/Writer

Jiazheng Li, from China, is a theatre director and writer. He wants to be funny, but he lives in a daze.

His creative work is more concerned with the psychological and emotional state of a person's life. Artistically and aesthetically, Jiazheng has been inspired and influenced a lot by working with artists from different backgrounds and the work he has done. He aims to find and refine his personal theatre language, to find a state of living and being.
