2 About Contemporary Legend Theatre To integra t e t ra diti onal Chinese op era with mo d ern th ea t re In 1986, a group of Peking opera players, being keenly aware of the decline of traditional Chinese opera, began thinking seriously how to integrate traditional Chinese opera with modern theatre. Under the artistic director Wu Hsing-kuo, the Contemporary Legend Theatre (CLT) was founded. Adapted from Shakespeare s tragedy Macbeth, The Kingdom of Desire CLT s debut sought to fuse the singing, reciting, acting, and acrobatic fighting of traditional Chinese opera with the Western canon, and to present the performance as modern theatre. The production utterly subverted the playgoers expectations of Peking opera and of Shakespeare, and successfully created a totally new intercultural aesthetics. Since then, the CLT has regularly been invited to perform abroad, and has performed in nearly twenty countries, at places including London s National Theatre, the Festival d Avignon, Lincoln Center Festival, and the Edinburgh International Festival. To fuse ea stern and western th ea t re arts The CLT has attempted a wide variety of subjects and styles. Past productions include adaptations of Shakespeare: The Kingdom of Desire (Macbeth), War and Eternity (Hamlet), King Lear, and The Tempest; adaptations of Greek tragedies: Medea and Oresteia; repertoire of traditional Chinese opera: Yin Yang River and Farewell My Concubine; new plays based on Chinese stories: The Last Days of Emperor Lee Yu and The Hidden Concubine; an innovative hip opera: A Play of Brother and Sister, and more. Though innovative, the CLT endeavors to keep tradition alive by producing the classical Pear Garden Series. Critics also applaud the CLT s experimental fusion of Kunqu opera and modern music in The Butterfly Dream, and the exquisite amalgamation of Peking opera and French Baroque opera in The Emperor Kangxi and the Sun King Louis XIV. The CLT again took on a new challenge by adapting Waiting for Godot by the Nobel-winning Samuel Beckett. Walter Asmus, a German Beckettian authority and director, remarked that the production successfully decoded Beckett, and amounted to a perfect union of poetic and theatrical languages. Ariane Mnouchkine, artistic director of Le Théâtre du Soleil, maintained that the production would make an entry into the history of modern theatre. The CLT made another breakthrough with Run! Chekhov!, a musical incorporating fourteen short stories by the Russian writer and featuring elements of creative industry. In addition, the CLT s electronic rock Peking opera 108 Heroes Tales from Water Margin and its sequel rocked audiences in Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong alike. In 2013, the CLT s Metamorphosis a performance blending Kafka s literary masterpiece, technology, and traditional Peking opera is again selected by the Edinburgh International Festival, and this time as the opening performance as well. What defines the CLT is its continual exploration, creation, and dedication to passing down the tradition and strengthening its roots, and that makes the troupe a contemporary legend.

11 Taiwanese answer to Orson Welles there is no denying the actor s extraordinary virtuosic power He is quite brilliant. The Gardian Metamorphosis is a remarkable achievement. Not solely for being an intense one-man production, but for the layers of sensory experience mixed into his performance. Edinburgh Highlight Wu Hsing-kuo s return (in Edinburgh International Festival), with one-man show based upon Franz Kafka s great novella Metamorphosis, brought unexpected (illustration of ) drama. The actor s renowned skill in movement, combined with beautiful live music, creates moments of great spectacle. The Herald (UK., on Metamorphosis) Visually Stunning. The Times (U.K., on Kingdom of Desire) I have heard about CLT... Indeed, one of the best theatre companies in Asia. And what great leading actors they have. Louis Helmer (Director of World Musical Theatre Festival, Amsterdam) I am curious about what kind of extraordinary culture could cultivate an outstanding artist troupe such as Taiwan s Contemporary Legend Theatre. All these years, Theatre du Soleil has been experimenting a theatre form that could encompass all art elements. What we have been pursuing I see that it has been achieved by CLT. From CLT, I see the dream of the theatre of the world. Ariane Mnouchkine (Artistic Director, Le Theatre du Soleil) Tragedy is based on conflicts. Shakespeare s tragedy is about an individual fighting against a group. Monologue thus lost the original power because audiences could only see one part at a time. It was difficult for a monologue to present conflicts. From your performance, I saw your solidarity as a performer. I ve invited you here because through this performance you shook the tradition of Peking Opera. You also shook the understanding of Shakespeare. Eugenio Barba (Artistic Director of Odin Theatre, Denmark) The scale of the show is epic.
