Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2024

Hong Kong City Hall Theatre
27.09.2024 - 06.10.2024

Relaunching the Jiānghú comedic mode
Scapin challenges the world of flying swords and earth-defying leaps yet again

The Dragon Slay and Tiger Crush clans have been sworn enemies for generations, at loggerheads for a century with no clear winner or loser. On the day of their annual battle, the two clan leaders suddenly announce arranged marriages for their sons (marrying the respective daughters of their former enemies). The two young men are devastated over their imminent weddings, lamenting they cannot choose their true love. House servant Scapin pities the two young men, thus offering to save them from their plights with countless devious plots.

Adapted from Molière’s Les Fourberies de Scapin, Scapin in Jiānghú, Chap. 2023 is chock-full of comedic elements. When the play premiered in 2023, the theatre was filled with uproarious laughter. By popular demand, Scapin returns to Jiānghú to continue the 2024 chapter of this story of love, hate and enmity.

^{“As a Hong Kong theatregoer, to have an adaptation of Scarpin that belongs specifically to us is obviously a delight.”
— Yau Ting Kit Kevin, Ming Pao}

^{^{“Scapin adapts and transfers, recasting an old story providing us with fresh cultural meaning.”
— 輕羽, Ta Kung Pao}}
