Performance
A story passed down from more than 2,000 years ago, a legend told from the plains of the Yangtze River.
As Mei Jian Chi came of age, he was handed a precious sword by his mother. With it, he learned the origin of the sword, which prompted him to take vengeance on the Emperor.
Old Tales Retold: Casting Sword was Wu Xi's first devised play in 1998. This year, Wu Xi returns to Lu Xun's popular fable and creates a unique and new devised piece which blends theatre, dance, multimedia, and folk music into one riveting performance.
