Blossoms of Her Selves

This doctoral project researches the intercultural issues raised for a Chinese artist when composing a feminist adaptation of an episode from a Qing dynasty classic.

This adaptation contextualises contemporary female issues, especially reflecting on female independence/dilemmas/suicide, and female relationships under the patriarchal system. This work explores how adaptation, feminism, and intermediality could inform each other in theatre performance, while breaking the boundary between onstage/offstage and integrating the immersive effects of theatre, cinema and gallery.
