NYU Skirball Center, 566 LaGuardia Pl, New York, NY 10012
The 2015 Annual Peking Opera Festival features the Wei Liu and Wu Han Peking Opera Company of China, one of the top ten Peking opera companies in the world. The Three Inch Lotus is a rarely-seen modern Peking opera production, making its U.S. debut in New York City at the NYU Skirball Center.
Combining singing and dialogue with traditional dancing, performers provide an unforgettable glimpse of life and culture in ancient China! The Three Inch Lotus is a story about a woman, XianLiang, who was forced to follow the tradition of feet binding in order to marry into an upper class family. In the end, will XianLiang let her own daughter abide by the same tradition in order to marry into another privileged family?
