A play combining traditional operas, hip-hop and a folk band, will be staged at the National Small Theater Festival. Chen Nan reports.
About two years ago, when Hu Hanchi, who was studying at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts, decided to make his directorial debut, he chose San Sheng (literally meaning Three Lives), a story from Liaozhai Zhiyi, or Strange Tales From a Chinese Studio, a collection of supernatural tales by Pu Songling in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
"The story is simple, clear and made me think," says Hu, 27.
