The Peony Pavilion

Narrated excerpts from Chen Shi-Zheng’s acclaimed stage production of Tang Xianzu’s The Peony Pavilion, filmed in Paris after its Lincoln Center presentation. This two-hour document condenses the epic kunqu love story of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei through opera, dance, acrobatics, puppetry, martial arts and Robert Powell’s narration, preserving the atmosphere of a much longer theatrical event.
