In the morgue, the two of them recalled their experiences over the years and cried, vented, confessed, danced, graffiti, drank, played, flirted... In a dialogue full of speculative colors and dark humor, the two middle-aged people show the complex psychology of people when the Soviet Union collapsed.
The words of "SORRY" are humorous, and the story twists and turns are bizarre, vividly revealing the embarrassing situation of middle-aged people facing love and marriage and their desire for happiness.
Throughout the performance, Jiao Huang and Feng Xianzhen used crazy and speculative wonderful dialogue to let the audience see a bizarre love story that took place in a morgue full of death.
It is reported that Feng Xianzhen was very excited to star in "SORRY" that year, because the heroine in the movie "Office Story" had a neutral personality, and she also left the audience with a neutral impression; And this time Feng Xianzhen played Yingna, is a feminine middle-aged Russian woman, Feng Xianzhen in the performance clips are shy and amorous, which is very different from the audience's impression of her.
At that time, Jiao Huang, who was in his sixties, repeatedly told reporters that the lines of this play were too difficult, because he and Feng Xianzhen had to spend more than two hours just on the lines, and the super large number of lines posed an extremely severe test to the memory and performance skills of the two actors. Jiao Huang said that the reason why he took over the play at this age is that he feels that he is old, and there will not be many opportunities to act in the future; The second is because he studied the play as a performance subject.
The famous performance artist Jiao Huang is a titan of today's drama, film and television performance, and his performance of "Kangxi Emperor" in the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" has left a deep impression on TV audiences at home and abroad.
Feng Xianzhen, a performance artist of the National Theatre of China, has a status in the theater industry, and her starring "The Lady Returns Home", "The Trick of Fate", "The Forbidden Game of Youth" and "There is No Place to Die" are the pinnacle of theatrical performance.
