Look at this fat old lady, she is not an ordinary person, she is an 83-year-old director Who is still active in front of the theater stage! No one in the circle knows and no one knows.
Directed by Chen Yiyi
She is said to be active because she is still productive and creative in her eighties, and her best works are frequent. Even if you have cancer and need surgery, you can postpone it for the sake of directing a play, and you can truly make a play. Take a look at her transcript for the past two years:
On the evening of July 9, 2020, the all-female star drama "Othello" was officially premiered on the Shanghai People's Grand Stage;
In July 2021, the drama version of "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" as the general director premiered at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center;
On June 30, the drama "Going North" as the general director was staged at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center;
In 2022, the drama "The Merchant of Venice" cooperated with Happy Twist was performed in Shanghai.
Such a high yield, such an intensive drama, the young director's physical strength and energy may not be able to do it, let alone a terminally ill octogenarian.
