Aurore Liang

About the Artist

Aurore Liang, originally from Beijing, revealed her artistic talents at a very early age. From the age of 6, she distinguished herself on stage by winning numerous awards for her American storytelling, bringing a Western perspective to a Chinese audience. At the age of 23, her insatiable curiosity led her to explore the world, particularly France and Quebec. She noticed a growing interest in China, even though the country often remains misunderstood, hidden behind linguistic and cultural barriers. In 2018, eager to make Chinese culture and arts more accessible, Aurore founded the first Beijing opera school open to the public. This art form, considered the elite of Chinese artistic heritage, is taught there in French, English, and Chinese. Her ambition is clear: to share the beauty and richness of this ancestral art with an international audience. 

These presentations are offered in schools, community centres, festivals, and libraries, promoting accessibility to Chinese culture and encouraging active public participation.
