A dialogue throughtime
Puppeteer Cai Jiajie transforms Quanzhou marionettes into a contemporary performance in the form of a monologue, staging a cross-temporal dialogue between mother and son. Chow T. II extends the creative journey and narrative of Chow T. House, beginning with tea, the technique of pouring wines, and family bonds. Blending traditional puppetry with contemporary theatrical language, Chow T. II poetically examines the entanglements between the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, family memories, and personal growth, inviting audience to reflect: how may traditional culture sprout and grow in a contemporary context?
