An experimental theatre work adapted from the story of Yu Rang in Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian, the first major Chinese historian. Writing from prison, he meets the loyal assassin who disfigured himself and muted his voice to avenge his lord and becomes the narrator of this tale of Yu Rang's struggles. Through his encounter with a fellow soul in despair, he forges a bond of loyalty to him and affirms his own life mission. Blending devised theatre and realism, this is a raw, visceral reflection on faith, fate and legacy.
