Lord Guan Yu On Stage

Taiwan Arts Festival 2016

Description

Description

The river is still running hot with soldiers engaging in fierce battle, blood of countless heroes flowing unceasingly for twenty years! Rituals in play, play in rituals, play is rituals!

Showing Lord Guan Yu as man and god, with the classic basic skills of Peking opera: singing, talking, acting and fighting, and traditional rituals interspersed with new media technology. Battle, killing, sacrifice, compassion, becoming a god, subduing evil spirits… Begins with the loyal and heroic act of Guan Yu crossing five passes and slaying six generals. With the crossing of five passes, the cleansing of the stage is achieved by getting rid of the ominous evil spirits. Hence, he becomes a demon slayer, warding off evil and keeping the world in peace.
