Description
Made in China: Return of the Soul is a 90 minute dance-theater adaptation and revisioning of Tang Xianzu's Peony Pavilion, one of the most famous plays in all of classical Chinese literature and drama. The story of Du Liniang, the 16 year old daughter of a prominent official, who falls in love in a dream with a young scholar named Liu Mengmai, the play is famous

Jin Xing's production of the play re-imagines it between the ancient Ming Dynasty era of 16th Century China and the modern chaos of contemporary 21st Century China. The media design comprises large scale projection that amplifies the different historical and contemporary sites in the play: the dreamworld of the garden
