O You Heavenly Creatures !

Description
In classical Chinese literature, characters only find a way to redress injustice in the afterlife. Why should this be so? In this absorbing tale of a secular city shifting between tradition and modern life, memory and actuality, a resurrected Monkey King encounters seven incarnations of the innocent Lee Wai-leung. Together, they lodge an appeal to Heaven.
O You Heavenly Creatures! is a parable that brings together the Monkey King of Journey to the West fame, Lee Wai-leung the tragic heroine from a story in Chinese opera, and her seven modern-day incarnations–female workers who jumped from the building of Foxconn–and explores times past and present, lives as the characters lived within their timeframes, and the ethical and cultural conundrums behind them all. The social outcry of modern experimental theatre is merged with Chinese traditional theatre aesthetics. Like all parables, the quotable quote is “For every one of us, there is a Foxconn, a factory in which we live. The difference is whether you are aware of the character you play.”
