Echoes
Echoes
This compelling new music theatre piece, inspired by the Wei-Jin era’s Seven
Sages of the Bamboo Grove, reimagines the legendary final moments of Ji
Kang. Before his execution in 263 CE, he played the guqin, a traditional
Chinese musical instrument. In Echoes, this zither becomes a spiritual
vessel, through which his companions confront grief, freedom and
existential meaning. Blending music, drama and physical theatre, the
narrative intertwines metaphysical dialogue with poetic defiance,
mirroring the struggle of the sages to reconcile idealism with a chaotic
world. Performed in Mandarin with English surtitles.
