Indi Chan

Born in Hong Kong, Indi Chan graduated from the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Arts. During a period of study overseas, she was captivated by contemporary theater in Japan, and decided to become a director. She joined the Bungakuza Theatre Institute in 2017, and was promoted into the Production Department in 2022. Since joining this group, Chan has served as assistant director to figures including Katsuya Kobayashi, Nobuhiro Nishikawa, Matsumoto Yuko, and Kanade Tokoro. Having studied a range of languages in addition to Japanese, such as Cantonese (her mother tongue), English, and Chinese (Mandarin), Chan is active in international theater exchange—she has been involved as an executive committee member for the Japan Directors’ Association International Theater Exchange Seminar, an interpreter for (Hong Kong-based) Chung Ying Theatre Company’s Japan Exchange Workshop, and coordinator for Alice Theatre Laboratory’s Japan tour. In 2024, she directed Chiaki Reading Performance, as well as Strawberry Silence and The Last Supper for the theater company Tsukinami Usagi. Chan made her Bungakuza directorial debut with Wild Boar, as part of the Atelier no Kai showcase in September 2025.
