“I don’t know if you recognize this uncle – a handsome youth back in the day from that movie! Actually, he prefers to be remembered for the work he’s done for the stage, from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” a couple of years ago here in China to his recent “Harlequino: Onto Freedom”. As someone who lacks an artist’s genes, I started as a silly fan who follows him to theatres despite not understanding a single line in the performance. Now, I can understand the nuances behind the lines of each of the 13 characters. The lines have piqued my brain: What is freedom? Why do some characters not follow their script? The after-show talk shed a light on the logistics behind the stage, including how the cast worked with American prisons and incorporated related personnel into the performance. What important work! Some people got the hugs they wanted, and some mentioned the recent Presidential election, and that they will continue to fight for inclusion and create a better world. I’ve had a wonderful experience listening to the after-show talk. Thanks to my friend for introducing me to this event, and thanks to Ping Pong for bringing such an amazing cast and production to us!”
