"Of Mountains and Seas" by Gao Xin Jian - World Premier in CUHK (Students' special)

"Of Mountains and Seas" (山海經傳) is written by Mr Gao based on the utmost famous Shan Hai Jing (山海經) with lots of legends and imginary figures. This show was exceptionally interesting as the production team wanted to re-construct the play in an arena at New Asia College of CUHK like those played in Greece 4000 years ago, and the characters, ways of performance (with story tellers), costumes and sounds were really impressive. Though it was really not as comfortable in air-conditioned theatre as it was performed in wet summer night, it was a show full of surprise and visually stimulating. Estimated from the scale of production, the ticket price is really something 'price-for-value'. The formal performance will be in the latter half of this week, hope people enjoy it.
