Liu Ling Zui (Old Drunken Dream)

China Coal Mine Art Troupe

A modern proofreader encounters the ancient Chinese poet Liu Ling across time. The renowned scholar with a legendary liking for wine – one of the famous seven sages of the bamboo grove – and the academic of today embark on a poetic dialogue over a drink. The two discuss anxiety and authenticity, exploring the tension between purpose and detachment in search of rediscovering inner freedom in a fast-paced world. Audiences are encouraged to move freely as scenes unfold around them in this immersive, multi-space promenade performance, blending past and present.
