The Theme of the 5th Wuzhen Theatre
Festival is LUMINOSITY
Luminosity
It is
energy that emanates from the sun.
It is the
shine, the glow from the moon.
It is
enlightenment.
It is
reflection.
It is pioneering
and courage.
It is the comprehensive
whole.
“Luminosity”
is a word related to brightness and clarity.
The Records
of the Ancient Historian tells us: “The
enlightened one looks within, the strong one masters himself.”
The year 2017 is the year of the Rooster. The ancient Book of Songs reads: “The rooster has
crowed, the eastern sky is bright now.”
“Luminosity” is both an engagement and a promise between
the 5th Wuzhen Theatre Festival and its audiences.
The rooster is crowing, the east is brightening.
