Zhuangzi’s Dream
Zhuangzi’s Dream
This experimental physical theatre piece boldly deconstructs the philosophical
classic Zhuang Zhou, Dreams of a Butterfly and the folk-legend, Zhuang
Zhou Tests His Wife, to explore the essence of humanity, love and
existence. Set in the lacquer garden of the Warring States period, the
work blends traditional shadow puppetry, stylised Chinese opera and
avant-garde theatrical language. The surreal world, inspired by Tao
philosophy, intertwines reality and illusion. The audience embarks on a
philosophical journey that asks , how does one prove existence? and
touches upon the true nature of life itself. Performed in Mandarin.
