Xu Jun's theatrical work, the original musical The Orphan of Zhao, is rooted in an East-West cross-cultural theatrical context, deeply focusing on traditional ethical values and modern individual expression. Top stage artists collaborate, and the star-studded cast presents the magnificent epic of the 'Spring and Autumn' period at its peak.
Originating from a revenge story over 2,600 years ago, it has evolved into a global theatrical classic full of philosophical reflection, historical gravitas, and literary richness through inheritance and transformation. It is a fundamental and ongoing inquiry into the question of human existence.
The Orphan of Zhao fuses modern creativity with the art form of an original musical. Within its tumultuous tragic narrative, it presents the bonds between family and state, clan and individual; the paradoxes of mind and body, emotion and reason; and the struggle between revenge and sacrifice, will and fate, stirring the deepest sublimity and eternity of human nature.
