Revenge of the Prince: The Dragon Rises & The End of Revenge
Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group’s chief playwright and director reproduces his original work as Revenge of the Prince to represent the indoor stage performance style of Taiwanese opera at the height of its popularity in indoor venues. It is divided into two parts performed on two consecutive
days. The unmatched male lead SUN Tsui-feng, the rare chou (clown role) talent CHEN Sheng-tsai and the popular xiao dan (young female lead) actress CHENG Ya-sheng lead the cast of Ming Hwa Yuan through many thrilling and unexpected twists and turns. This is a performance that should not be missed!
Part I - The Dragon Rises
The emperor wants to have his royal tomb built, but heavy rains are hampering the progress. After consulting a hermit, he orders 300 maids to leave the palace, as “female” is related to the element of water. One maid is pregnant with the crown prince ZHAO Xiang’s child, who will be named QIU Gonghuan, and the crown prince’s wife HUA Yunong has her listed as among those who are to leave to protect her status in the royal family. The rain continues and this leads to the expulsion of ZHAO Lou, the emperor’s young grandson, as “Lou” means“leak”. These two princes are raised outside the palace walls.
Part II - The End of Revenge
At the palace, everyone is excited to watch as QIU lifts the red bridal veil. He is surprised to find the woman he loves, WEN Qingfeng, marrying his father the Emperor. QIU and his mother, full of resentment for being abandoned, seek revenge on the Emperor and Queen HUA. New hatred is piled on top of old as QIU plots to get rid of the queen and forces ZHAO to join him in his quest for revenge.
Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group
Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group was founded in 1929. It has been a witness to the rise and decline of traditional Taiwanese opera. Although it has stayed true to this art form, which it works to preserve, its productions are modern and incorporate graceful movements and colorful costumes and sets, as well as elements of folk arts, drama, poetry, music, dance, acrobatics, visual arts and theater. Most of its productions have a historical setting and contain clear moral messages, based on the traditions of Taiwanese opera. However, all of its performances are extremely vivid and lively. The vision of Ming Hwa Yuan is not only to present grassroots outdoor Taiwanese operas, but also to grace theater stages. It has successfully transformed traditional Taiwanese opera into a cultural and creative industry that has attracted much interest. Ming Hwa Yuan’s goal is the production of “Eastern musicals”, which it has presented on five continents around the world, astonishing international audiences.
