HOT POT
AN ALL-ASIAN VARIETY SHOWCASE
HOT POT is an annual showcase that features an all-Asian cast with talents based in various performing art disciplines. The first showcase was created by Elle Lixir in May 2023 as a way to create a community with likeminded Asian diaspora artists and performers.
The next HOT POT Showcase is slated for Saturday, May 24th, 2025
at the Bus Stop Theatre (2203 Gottingen St, Halifax).

Community & Activism
The core mission of HOT POT goes beyond mere entertainment; it serves as a medium to present individuals of Asian descent as multifaceted beings rather than reducing them solely to their cultural heritage. Through a deliberate emphasis on featuring predominantly Asian performers, the show seeks to dismantle preconceived notions and foster a broader understanding of the diverse experiences and talents within the Asian community.
