The Feast of Han Xizai
Written and choreographed by Chen Mei-O
Produced and performed by Han Tang Yue Fu
Set and costume designed by TimYip
The Feast of Han Xizai was inspired by the Tang painting "The Feast of Han Xizai" kept in the National Museum of Beijing. The painting depicts the story of the late Tang bon vivant Han Xizai who gave up his life of luxury and became a wandering musician as a gesture to protest against a world of political chaos and low morality. This famous painting is also a precious document on the fashion, music, dance, and floral art of the Tang dynasty. The present project was a reconstruction of the story of Han basing on information provided by this painting.
