亮 illuminate

Chinese opera, a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back to the early periods in China. It is a composite performance art that is an amalgamation of various art forms that existed in ancient China, and evolved gradually over more than a thousand years, reaching its mature form in the 13th century during the Song Dynasty.

 

As interesting as front of the stage, back stage has been a mysterious place to me.

 

Finally, I get the chance to visit this wonderland of transformation.

 

Hope you will enjoy this series as much as I do :)
