Old Street, an original play in central China’s Henan dialect, has won warm applause from the audience at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 16.
The play had already been performed twice in the capital city earlier this month, at Beijing National Theatre on Sept. 9 and at Century Lecture Hall of Peking University on Sept. 12.
Old Street showcases the rise and fall of the Majie Quyi Fair in Baofeng County, Henan Province over the past 700 years, by telling the story of a group of ill-fated folk artists, revealing their persistence in cultural inheritance and cultural confidence.
