We also went out in the streets of Wuzhen to get some perspective from the public. Here's what they have to say about what theater means in this digital age and also what can be achieved from collaboration between Chinese and foreign theater groups!
"Theater plays are not like movies or online videos, every performance is unique. It cannot be replicated."
"In the moment -- that's the essence of live theater. We won't record the performance because it will ruin its uniqueness."
"We often say that life needs a sense of ritual. And theater is like the light in our lives. So instead of movies, I prefer the live performances."
