About the Show
Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. Moving Arts World Premiere, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters.
Written by Stephen Dierkes, Directed by Jeff Liu, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars stars Jonathan Cheung, Elaine Kao, Wayne Lee and West Liang.
