Christian Yeo Xuan is a writer and actor based in Paris.

He is keen on investigating who we are and how we might become ourselves.

Moving firstly as a writer, Christian’s poetry has been published notably in The Mays and Gaudy Boy’s New Singapore Poetries, among many others. He won the Arthur Sale Poetry Prize, placed 2nd for the Aryamati Poetry Prize, came in 3rd for the National Poetry Competition (Singapore), and was shortlisted for the Poetry London Pamphlet Prize, the Bridport Prize, and the Sykes Prize. He received a scholarship to attend the Kenyon Review Writers’ Workshop and has worked with the Asia Creative Writing Programme and Berlin Writer’s Workshop. 

As an actor, Christian cut his teeth on the second and third ever Southeast Asian scripts put up on the Cambridge main stages. On his return to Singapore, he trained with Young & W!ld (2022-2023), local theatre company Wild Rice’s Actor Training arm, under the guidance of Edith Podesta.

He holds a BA in Law from Cambridge, graduating with Double First Class Honours and topping his year in Labour Law. He believes in tenderness, coffee (James Hoffmann), and the strength of soft things.
