A Macau Experimental Theatre
Lavastaja: Tam Chi Chun
Laval: Jordan Cheng & Derek Kwan
Prantsuse diplomaat armub Hiinas salapärasesse ooperilauljasse. Kuid kas naine on ikka see, keda ta väidab end olevat? Paljudele tuntud lugu räägitakse seekord meile inspireeritult hiina ooperist ja vintage pop'ist, mis miksib endasse nii Ida kui Läänt. Kui Ameerika näitekirjaniku David Henry Hwangi "M. Butterfly's" räägitakse lugu läbi diplomaadi vaatepunkti, kes oma armsamat petab, ning kus luuakse romantilist müüti Idast, siis "Mr. Shi and His Lover" keskendub pigem Aasia vaatepunktile ning Shi osutub palju teadlikumaks karakteriks ega ole nii naiivne. Ooperis on nii suurejoonelist draamat kui ka poliitilist provokatiivsust.
Pikkus 80 minutit.
Etendus toimub ERMi teatrisaalis (B-sissepääs) 6. märtsil kell 19. Piletid Piletilevist.
