Description
abstractSynopsis:
This play is a revisionist reinterpretation of the Kunqu opera Su Wu the Shepherd, shifting the focus from Su Wu's patriotism to the inner struggles of Li Ling, a soldier who succumbs to the power of their putative enemy, the Xiongnu (an ancient nomadic tribe that poses as the main threat to China). The story starts with Li Ling strenuous fight with the Xiongnu. However, due to the asymmetrical force between the two, Li falls to the power of the Xiongu and becomes a captive. Later, the leader of Xiongnu makes Li marryied with his daughter. The emperor of Han dynasty gets the news and demands to kill the Li family. Shocked by the tragedy, Li persuades Su to yield to Xiongnu but gets Su's rejection. When they land on a lookout to see toward their hometownelevated tower where they can have a peek of their hometown, Li expresses his complex emotions, showingweaved with his yearning to return to the for Han dynasty, intense strong shameful feelings, and pains. The stage is designed as a giant whipping top. The circle floor, with changes of scenarios, presents different angles on a slanted stage. Many close-up shots intersperse in the performance to symbolize the courtiers' slanders.
