War play

Using loudspeakers as his main tool, theater director Wang Chong attempts to tell a story about the mechanisms of war in his latest production The Warfare of Landmine 2.0. Xu Lin reports.

Six people in colorful trousers make a circle on a pink montage foam floor. When one black loudspeaker lands slowly in the middle of the circle, they fall down one by one and huddle up.

It's a scene about the atomic bomb from The Warfare of Landmine 2.0, the latest production by theater director Wang Chong from the Beijing-based Theatre du Reve Experimental.
