About:
An experimental theatre work adapted from the story of Yu Rang in
Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian, the first major Chinese
historian. Writing from prison, he meets the loyal assassin who
disfigured himself and muted his voice to avenge his lord and becomes
the narrator of this tale of Yu Rang's struggles. Through his encounter
with a fellow soul in despair, he forges a bond of loyalty to him and
affirms his own life mission. Blending devised theatre and realism, this
is a raw, visceral reflection on faith, fate and legacy.
