This concert presents two beautiful fables from Liaozhai (Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio) to illustrate the transience and impermanence of life.
In the first story, the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, who is coerced into harming people by a demon, meets the scholar Ning Caichen. Moved by his integrity, she decides to help him escape and takes the plunge into forbidden love.
In the second story, the handsome Ma Ji enters Raksha Country by mistake. He puts on face makeup to survive the country’s reversed standards of beauty, but ends up turning his own morals upside down.
