RAI Film Festival 2017. The last lineage opera in Zhouguan village
Description
In the summer of 2006, I went as a student to Zhouguan, a Tunpu village in a multiethnic area of southwest China. Renowned for its performances of the Dixi exorcism operas, the village elders believe that they are descendants of ethnic Han military colonists in the early Ming Dynasty. When local businessmen and government officials began to take control of the staging of these plays, the elders told me that “authentic” performances were no longer possible. They therefore asked me to make a record of the Dixi opera which they planned to perform that year for the very last time.
