Description
abstractSynopsis:
In a pink room with big-red-flower-patterned curtain and a cozy bed at hotel named White Water, men kept coming in and out. A prostitute, sitting by the window, was fantasizing an on-going romance and could not help laughing. The prostitute and her clients mounted ridiculous scenes, one after another.The Romance is adapted from the French play, Le balcone by Jean Genet. Borrowing episodes and concepts of Le balcone and stories of local prostitutes collected from field studies and interviews, the play, through staging real stories from rooms of the brothel, tried to recast different social roles of ＂prostitute＂. Renouncing traditional function as ＂moral savior＂, the play focuses on discussions of sexual politics, that is, the incredible scenarios about relations among sex, gender, class, age, race, body and social difference.
