Huang Bo, an A-list actor and the initiator of the comedy festival, noted: "Comedy is about using the simplest methods — body language, facial expressions and so on — so that boundaries become fewer and fewer, and everyone can understand it."
This is precisely the precious sample that the Liyuan Comedy Festival offers for cultural exchange between China and other countries: within the "universal grammar" built by body language and props, artists and audiences engage in one joyful, borderless dialogue after another.
