Forging the Swords
Beijing Central Academy of Drama (China)
Adapted from Lu Xun's novel, Forging the Swords tells the story of a
naturally kind-hearted child, who is suddenly entrusted with the
monumental task of avenging his father's murder. Two swords are wielded
in the name of peace, yet result in further bloodshed. Incorporating
elements from the ancient Chinese collection of supernatural tales the
play poses thought-provoking philosophical questions of humankind. Where
will our obsessions ultimately lead us? Is the culmination of revenge
truly freedom, or is it an endless void?
