Renewal of Tradition: The Modernization of Kun Qu Opera
Update: 2017-01-06
Description
China is home to many of the world's intangible cultural heritages, for instance Kun Qu Opera, a traditional Chinese opera which dominated the country's theatre from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Although Kun Qu has been included on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the preservation of this traditional opera still faces challenges. Many attempts have been made by Kun Qu performers and other artists to help it strike a chord with younger audiences, most of whom prefer more modern pop culture. One noteworthy attempt comes from cartoonist Lin Cheng-te from Taiwan.
