This book traces the transformation of traditional Chinese
theatre's (xiqu) aesthetics during its encounters with Western
drama and theatrical forms in both mainland China and Taiwan since
1978. Through analyzing both the text and performances of eight
adapted plays from William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, and Samuel
Beckett, this book elaborates on significant changes taking place
in playwriting, acting, scenography, and stage-audience relations
stemming from intercultural appropriation. As exemplified by each
chapter, during the intercultural dialogue of Chinese and foreign
elements there exists one-sided dominance by either culture,
fusion, and hybridity, which corresponds to the various facets of
China's pursuit of modernity between its traditional and Western
influences.
