About

Aquatique is an adaptation of Pu Songling’s 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Wang Liu Lang' (聊斋志异之王六郎) performed using dance behind masks with no dialogue. This classic Chinese story tells of a river ghost who must kill a human in order to replace him and enable him to reincarnate and get his soul back. This river ghost then meets a kind-hearted old fisherman, who persuades the ghost not to kill him. As the ghost’s time is ticking and his captor the water demon threatens consequences, what will he do? The drama is in the Nuo Opera form, a popular performance in southern China.
