A cross-cultural English version of China's The Peony Pavilion premiered in Fuzhou, blending Chinese and Western theater.
An English-language version of the Chinese Kunqu Opera The Peony Pavilion, starring a Chinese actress and an Irish actor, premiered in Fuzhou during the Seventh Tang Xianzu International Theatre Exchange Month, concluding December 7.
Directed by Michael Dobson of the University of Birmingham, the production united performers from the UK, China, the US, and Ireland in a cross-cultural exploration of universal themes.
The festival, which began in late October, drew over 1,000 participants and highlighted shared artistic values between Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare.
The performance blended traditional Chinese opera techniques with Western theatrical methods, emphasizing emotional expression through movement and language.
The event reinforced the ongoing cultural exchange between Fuzhou and Stratford-upon-Avon, linked since 2016 through student visits and joint performances.
