“I, Wu Song” – A One-Man Chinese Opera

Description

Description

Chinese opera has often been seen as an art form that tells historical tales, and that of Wu Song’s is one of the classics. Yet in this theatre work, Wu is no longer the protagonist, nor does Chinese opera take up the task to tell his story. Instead, Wu’s story is transformed into a medium for Chinese opera to explore itself as a theatrical form of body movements and musical gestures. All utterances have been removed and Wu now becomes no more than an anonymous man on stage, called “I”.
