To Live gets a life on German stage
After a highly acclaimed tour around China last year, avant-garde director Meng Jinghui's latest work To Live, featuring A-list comedian Huang Bo and award-winning film actress Yuan Quan, will make its overseas debut in Germany in early 2014.
As a key element in the year of China-Germany cultural exchange, To Live was invited to be performed at the Deutsches Theater Berlin and Thalia Theater in Hamburg, two of Germany's oldest and most influential drama houses. The play will also be featured in the Lessing Festival, in celebration of the works of German dramatist Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.
In the exchange, the National Theater of China will soon welcome two German dramas, Oedipus City by Deutsches Theater Berlin and T Schick by Thalia Theater.
