An unsent letter to my Dear A. How many years have you been here? A love song of Chinese immigration and global diaspora. The letter A – Asian, artist, amour, abandonment, affection, apology, acceptance... or simply a name never dared to be said aloud.

About Juniper Lai

Dear A is a 55-minute music show by Juniper Lai presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Framed as an unsent letter, the piece explores Chinese immigration and global diaspora through the lens of a love song. The letter A becomes a symbol with multiple meanings — Asian, artist, amour, abandonment, affection, apology, acceptance — or perhaps simply a name never spoken aloud. The show sits within folk and world music, recommended for audiences aged 8 and over.

Why see this show?

A quietly powerful meditation on belonging and identity, this show turns an unspoken letter into a love song about diaspora and the words we never quite manage to say. Tender, personal and musically rich.
