MAN: "On this desolate other shore, she gave us language, but we didn't know how to cherish it; she gave us wisdom, but we didn't know how to use it!"

"OTHER SHORE" BOOK COVER

The Other Shore


By Gao Xingjian

Play Reading

September 23, 2001
The Elliott Bay Book Company



The Program

The Setting

From the real world to the nonexistent other shore. The time cannot be defined or stated precisely.


The Other Shore

was written in 1986 and was originally scheduled to be performed by the Beijing People's Art Theatre but the production was suspended because the play was considered politically sensitive.
It was subsequently performed in Taiwan by the National College of Art in 1990 and by the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts in 1995.

Production Notes


ReAct's play reading of The Other Shore was produced with special permission from Gilbert C.F. Fong and the CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG.
