Theatre

Ever since its most prominent historian disappeared, the city and its culture are
entering into a period of regression.
The Wild Boar is a political allegory of a news media controlled by government and
large corporations. Veteran editor Ruan Wenshan announces his resignation from the
journalism establishment and launches his own independent newspaper to protect the
public’s right to know.
Ruan’s former student Johnny joins him in this fight. Their two-pronged strategy
involves news coverage of the missing historian and an investigation into the
government’s clandestine plans for urban renewal that would shatter the city. In the
meantime, Johnny is reunited with a former lover, and is confronted with a struggle
between passion and guilt.
As their independent newspaper gains credibility, they seem to be fulfilling their goal.
But the hunter’s gun is reloaded…
