Theatre

Literary Classics and their Adaptations into Theatre comprises of three pieces adapted from Chinese literary masterpieces: the marvel tale “Painted Skin” from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling;Romance of the Three Kingdoms – one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature written by Luo Guanzhong, and a few novels and proses by Xiao Hong. The company adapts and rehearses excerpts from these three stories and handles the performance with a simplistic stage. The stories will be stereoscopically presented on stage, so that students can understand the similarities and differences of the same work shown in different media. On top of exposing students to theatrical art, the programme also provides an entry point for teacher’s instruction.
