Chinese Opera

An Excerpt from Sea of Sin A sickly child was sent to a nunnery by her parents to ensure her survival under the protection of Buddha. However, she can barely live an ascetic life full of worship and chanting, and decides to sneak out. She then meets a novice monk who happens to be absconding from his monastery as well... The first half of the performance features the nuances in singing style and the shifts in the characters’ thinking, while the second half puts emphasis on bodily movements and gaits. Don’t miss out!
