Taiwan Bangzi Opera Company has invited Professor PERNG Ching-hsi and Professor CHEN Fang, who are authoritative scholars of Shakespeare dramas to create an opera titled Questioning Heaven adapted from SHAKESPEARE’s King Lear. LU Po-shen serves as the director, while National Award for Arts recipient WANG Hai-ling plays the lead role. The opera explores a wide range of issues including family bonds, nationalism, selfishness, justice, human relations, and destiny. It is characterized by brilliant and moving poetry and unrivaled satire. The gripping plot which is full of intrigues and fratricidal strife provides an in-depth portrait of the vicissitudes of life and karma. It explores the ultimate meaning of profound issues such as lust, forgiveness, human nature, and existence. Opera diva WANG Hai-ling plays the female version of King Lear with a characteristic Peking opera makeup. She displays her perfect acting skills by portraying this tragic character who experiences tribulations and hardship, goes mad as she faces the dichotomy between power and true family love, and finally gains enlightenment.
