There are two exhibition dramas, six experimental dramas and two dramas given by college students and offered at no charge.
The organizing committee tried to choose works balancing the tastes of everyday drama lovers and those who like more exotic theater.
Selections include: “Five Clowns and a Chair,” the clown theater from Taiwan; “Death Is Not a Bad Thing,” from Italy; “The Space of Dead,” from the Netherlands; “A Beautiful Day,” directed by Li Jianjun; and “Dieu Tonnerre,” adapted from “Zibuyu” (“What The Masters Would Not Discuss”), the supernatural stories written by Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
For more traditional drama, Meng’s new play, “Guns, Lies and Roses,” which tells a story of a suicide with an offbeat plot and humor, and “Lu De Shui” will be shown.
There also will be many other fun things to do, including a master theater performance class, a contemporary theater forum, masters’ lectures and a play-reading class. In the master performance class and play-reading class, drama fans will get a chance to get on stage with the guidance of professionals.
