Acting the Right Part is a cultural history of huaju (modern
Chinese drama) from 1966 to 1996. Xiaomei Chen situates her study
both in the context of Chinese literary and cultural history and in
the context of comparative drama and theater, cultural studies, and
critical issues relevant to national theater worldwide. Following a
discussion of the marginality of modern Chinese drama in relation
to other genres, periods, and cultures, early chapters focus on the
dynamic relationship between theater and revolution. Chosen during
the Cultural Revolution as the exclusive artistic vehicle to
promote proletariat art, "model theater" raises important questions
about the complex relationships between women, memory,
nation/state, revolution, and visual culture. Throughout this
study, Chen argues that dramatic norms inform both theatrical
performance and everyday political behavior in contemporary China.
