SUMMARY:The Hundred Flowers Project Play with TAP in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Come with Taiwanese American Professionals – Chicago (TAP-Chicago) on November 22nd to see one of the last performances of The Hundred Flowers Project! \nTHE PLAY\nDigital media becomes the perfect “ally” for a group of actors collectively creating a play about Mao Tse Tung’s Cultural Revolution. As their work-in-progress starts morphing into a propaganda play about the play itself\, disturbing questions arise as to who\, or what\, is controlling the narrative. \nStatement from Playwright Christopher Chen:\nThe Hundred Flowers Project is my big\, multi­media fantasia on the Cultural Revolution in China. With heavy use of modern technology\, the piece explores the state of mind of Mao’s regime by melding it with our own Facebook age\, ultimately finding a shared\, crazed self­-mythologizing ethos in both. To really capture the vertiginous\, careening\, propagandic feel of the Cultural Revolution\, I decided to make this a visceral piece of theater with all cylinders firing\, embracing spectacle and a kaleidoscopic\, continuously shifting structure. I love plays that take audiences on an emotional and intellectual roller coaster\, plays that disorient and startle as a means of opening up hidden levels of insight. \nVideo: http://vimeo.com/61778413 \nCOST\nSilk Road Rising has kindly offered us discounted tickets at $30 per person.
