Play of scenarios in love seeks to bemuse Beijing

A man and a woman act in front of a dozen cameras as audiences watch on a large projection screen on a stage in Beijing.

The "stage movie" is by avant-garde Chinese director Wang Chong and his Theater du Reve Experimental. It is the authorized Chinese version of Constellations by Nick Payne, an award-winning British playwright, and demonstrates the many possibilities surrounding a relationship between a male beekeeper and a female cosmologist.

In 2012, Constellations was judged the best play at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards in Britian. This year, it premiered on Broadway in the United States.
