Rouge Tiger and Lion Dog [Yanzhihu yu Shizigou] FILES Introduction; video (1); production background (7); program (1); photo (1); publicity (1); essay (1); bio (17) Loading the player... This adaptation condenses the story into 10 scenes connected by a narrator, focusing on the shrew's psychology. The playwright-director downplays the themes of gender war, patriarchy, and economy, and emphasizes the power of love and tenderness, both between marital partners and among family members. The tamer's repentance significantly revises the original. Following the tradition of xiqu, the stage design is simple and fluid, with visible "prop men" as an organic part of the performance. Film techniques, such as rewind and flashbacks, are also employed.
