The Story of the Stone
The Story of the Stone
A contemporary Kunqu opera adaptation of the Chinese classic Dream of the Red
Chamber. Jia Baoyu, once a sentient stone, is reborn and guided by
Buddhist and Daoist forces to realise the world is empty of permanent
identity and intrinsic independence. Wang Pushi, a fourth-generation actor
of the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre, mirrors this awakening through his
performance, discovering a generative and empowering transcendence of
emptiness. A dynamic fusion of classic Kunqu with modern experimental
theatre, immersive media and slow rock music. Performed in Mandarin and
English, with English surtitles.
