| Description |
Love! Fear! Sailing! It's Shakespeare as you've never seen it—put into a cultural blender of Asian theatre forms to create a visually stunning hybrid performance of The Bard's fantastical tale of Pericles. According to Director Dr Megan Evans, Victoria's senior undergraduate students have incorporated the Chinese theatre form of Jingju and the Japanese forms of Noh, Kyōgen, Kabuki and Bunraku to put a different spin on Shakespeare's take of princesses, prostitutes and kings. |
