Special Jury Prize and Best Actor Award – 3rd Festival of Traditional Chinese Opera (Paris)

“It is a recognition of the outstanding quality of a dramatic performance, which the jury found compelling and utterly ‘seductive’, a performance which went straight to the hearts of the jury.”

“The jury was bowled over by the performance, […] It is a masterpiece of the Peking Opera repertoire, played in a spirit of pure respect for the tradition. According to the specialists, it is rarely that non-Chinese spectators have an opportunity to see this kind of dramatic presentation in such a pure form. […] Many thanks to Jingkun Theatre, for the rare pleasure they have given us.” Jean-Pierre WURTZ, President of Jury
