Cross-Gender China: Across Yin-Yang, Across Cultures, and Beyond Jingju: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies

Autor Huai Bao
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
Cross-Gender China, the outcome of more than twenty years of theatrical and sociological research, deconstructs the cultural implications of cross-gender performance in today's China.


The recent revival in male-to-female cross-gender nandan performance in Chinese theatre raises a multitude of questions: it may suggest new gender dynamics, or new readings of old aesthetic traditions in new socio-cultural contexts. Interrogating the positions of the gender being performed and the gender doing the performing, this volume gives a broad cultural account of the contexts in which this unique performance style has found new life.
