About
Shot taken behind the stage of a tradisional theatre play during chinese ghost festival. The theatre is getting less popular and hardly find audience watching. This lady actor was taking a smoking break after her part was finished and the man at the background is the theatre musician.
That's a moment shakespeare poem comes to mind, " Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more..."
Dedicated both to the disappearing art and the committed artists.
I think this is really meaningful. A traditional threatre like this doesn't receive much appreciation by the people anymore... especially the young. Something needs to be done to ensure the survival of such tradition... the lost of which can be a real great lost to the people.
