Chinatown Arts Festival 2007: The Circle
A Chinese ‘jing kun’ style opera excerpt with newly edited script and
music writing, and modified music accompaniment. It tells the story of
a prime minister’s daughter - Wang Baochuan, and her pauper turned general
husband - Xue Pinggui. This opera excerpt conveys the rich symbolism of
this traditional art form: black and white costumes and straight and round/semi-circular
movements, as well as the concept of ‘the circle’: yin and yang, female
and male, the part and the whole, separation and reunion.
