DANNY YUNG: FLEE BY NIGHT
“Flee By Night” will be seen for the very first time in Europe thanks to the initiative of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen. The work is inspired by the fragment of a theatre play written 450 years ago which focused on the issue of the responsibility of the artist within society. How far does his integrity go and where does his seducibility begin when his career ambitions are exposed to the external pressures of political circumstances? In “Flee By Night”, Kun opera (kunqu), a traditional form of ancient Chinese theatre origi-nating around a thousand years ago which has been included on the UNESCO list as one of the 90 “Masterpieces of Oral and Immaterial Human Heritage”, is fused with elements of digital video and audio art. Ke Jun who plays the leading role is the director of the renowned Kun theatre in Nanjing. He has received the state award for the best kunqu actor within the area of martial arts roles (wu shen).
