International Black Box Festival 2016:
Performer Studio
"Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral"
(Hong Kong)

15.10.2016 - 23.10.2016

A timeless classic by Kuo Pao-kun, a forefather of Singaporean theatre Brought on stage again by a rising star cast and crew

“…the more I discover, the more I am convinced that we were related,that I had to be a descendant of the Eunuch Admiral.”

A powerful work about castration and politics, Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral recounts the legacy of the man responsible for China’s most extensive maritime expeditions in the 15th century, the legendary eunuch, Admiral Zheng He. Using the metaphor of castration, parallels are drawn between the power struggles of court eunuchs and the displacement of modern human beings who make sacrifices in their lives in order to survive in the highly competitive and industrious society.

What was Zheng He searching from the sea? What do we desire from our position in society?
