"Young Theatre Artist's competition" of the 3rd Wuzhen Theatre Festival underway
The "Young Theatre Artist's competition" of the 3rd Wuzhen Theatre Festival is now underway in east China's Zhejiang Province.
12 specially selected groups are now performing their creations to compete for the top three which will be judged this Friday.
The competition this year requires original work based on the theme "transmittal" with three stage elements: a circle, a lamp and a kiss.
Huang Lei is one of the initiators of the theatre festival. He says the purpose of the competition is to inspire young artists to think out of the box and present their best work.
"Every year, we choose three stage elements for the competition. And the choice is completely random. There is no any sort of link or logic among these elements. We didn't set any pattern there. We believe that if we have inner logic there for competitors to look for, it will take the fun out of the creating process. What we want is for the young people to try extra harder in their work."
This year's Wuzhen Theater Festival, opened last Thursday, will last till this Saturday.
It consists of various inter-related parts: Specially Invited Plays, the Young Theatre Artists Competition, an Outdoor Carnival, Wuzhen Dialogues, and master classes.
In all, 73 shows will be staged by theatre troupes from around the world, from famous professionals to untrained newcomers.
