Behind the scenes with Lily Yang
We interviewed the cast and crew of Another Life to offer a sneak peek into the characters, the writing process and more. Lily Yang plays Celia Xie, an avid traveller forced to change her direction due to an unexpected situation. Why did you decide to audition for this role? I have always had a deep-seated passion for theatre. This audition not only presented an exciting opportunity to explore and express my creative side, but also aligned perfectly with my desire to immerse myself in the world of theatre. Furthermore, it is also very interesting and challenging to play a character that is completely different, and it is very rewarding to be able to present 'someone else's' life through acting. Tell us a bit more about your character? Celia is a vibrant and adventurous 35-year-old woman whose spirit is fuelled by a profound passion for travel and freedom. What sets her apart is that she defies the conventional expectations of a 'typical Chinese girl.' She loves daydreaming, considering it her gateway to finding utopia, and she's the type of person who actively pursues and manifests those dreams in real life.
