About book The Other Shore: Plays By Gao Xingjian (2000)

The Other Shore by Gao Xingjian, translated by Gilbet C. F. FongA great intro collection to the Chinese ex-pat, nobel prize winning playwright. I enjoyed the work and found it to be very much in line with what my own personal vision of the theater is. Gao Xingjian uses sophisticated dialogue and effectively combines it with abstract movement sequences, music and other performative elements. I liked the play, Nocturnal Wanderer so much that I’m directing it in my companies Unseen/Unheard Reading Series this December. The premise of this jewel. While characters on a train sleep, in the city a sleepwalker blindly encounters a prostitute, a thug, a tramp and other characters with very little control over his own life course while trains pass by on tracks overhead. A brilliant reflection of our lives.
