Yesterday, the drama "Age is a Feeling" was performed at the Shanghai Drama Center. The play tells the story of a woman from the age of 25 to the end of her life. It uses the life fragments of 12 young, middle-aged and old people to explore the topic of "age" with full passion, which resonates with the audience.
The play "Age is a Feeling" was created by writer and actor Hayley McGee and will premiere at the Soho Theater in London, England in 2022. In each performance, the audience decides which six stories will be presented on the stage. The "never repeated twice" performance format is like opening a blind box in life, making the performance full of unknowns and surprises.
The Chinese version of "Age is a Feeling" is directed by young director Ruisa, who has directed many works such as "The Sinner", "Getting Better", "Children's Theater", "Little Stories in the Forest", etc., and stars the powerful actor Sun Shuyue. . The play premiered at the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center last year and received high praise from the audience for its novel performance format and topical performance content. Douban netizens gave the Chinese version a high score of 9.7 for its premiere. In the first round of eight performances, some viewers even walked into the theater several times in order to unlock the protagonist's different ways of opening up life.
The original cast returned this time. Ruisa said: "Everyone's feelings about life and understanding of age are also more delicate and diverse. They have added novel viewing forms and topical performance content in their methods and presentations. . This work makes us cherish the present moment more."
The play will be performed at the Shanghai Drama Center until April 6. (Xinmin Evening News reporter Wu Xiang)
