Description:
A contemporary Kunqu opera adaptation of the Chinese classic Dream of the Red Chamber. Jia Baoyu, once a sentient stone, is reborn and guided by Buddhist and Daoist forces to realise the world is empty of permanent identity and intrinsic independence. Wang Pushi, a fourth-generation actor of the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre, mirrors this awakening through his performance, discovering a generative and empowering transcendence of emptiness. A dynamic fusion of classic Kunqu with modern experimental theatre, immersive media and slow rock music. Performed in Mandarin and English, with English surtitles.
