Your gift will help us bring two exciting new plays to light:
Lu Shen, the Mad (w.t.)
by Princess Grace Semifinalist Christopher Chen, is a reimagining of Euripides' Herakles in modern China. In the chaos immediately following the Qing Dynasty's fall, Lu Shen is a veteran of the Boxer Rebellion who lives with the terrible violence he inflicted in the name of revolution. The play will capture the rage that rests beneath the surface of imperialist legacies in China, and the continuous tumult that marks modern Chinese history, where any victory leads at best to a tenuous, unsettled peace.
Scheduled for April 22 & 23 at the Museum of Chinese in America
The Secret History of Chingghis Khan: A Puppet Odyssey (w.t.)
by Wickshaw Productions Start the Story Fellow Michi Barall, who will collaborate with puppet-maker Jan Leslie Harding, actor/shaman/videographer Michael Littig, and Tuvan throat singer and composer Albert Kuvezin on a multi-media puppet spectacular, incorporating traditional storytelling, folk music, and high tech media arts in a poetic exploration of the life and legacy of Chingghis Khan. The play will tour through the past 800 years of world history and has two departure points: Mongolia, the 12th century & New York City, the 21st century. Two young heroes, Temujin and Michael, set out to discover themselves and to re-make their worlds. The Secret History of Chingghis Khan: A Puppet Odyssey is based on the 13th century Uighur text, The Secret History of the Mongols, the only native Mongolian text to chronicle the life of Chingghis Khan.
Scheduled for June 2010
