Geki x Cine from Japan will bring “Aonoran” and “Banyuki” on June 4, two plays with ingenious settings.

“Banyuki” is all about revenge and its motif is inspired by Alexandre Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo.” The endless human drama about revenge features a delicate and dynamic stage performance. “Aonoran” is an epic civil war drama centering on a fortune teller. Ten years ago she was driven out of her country when it was invaded. She then meets a clumsy but pure-hearted man, whom she falls in love with. But this turns out to be a roller-coaster ride for both of them.

Geki x Cine, meaning “theater” and “cinema” in Japanese, uses a unique approach to theater that is a combination of filming and projection, so audience members can enjoy live theater performances plus striking close-up imagery and montage-edited projections.

Venue: Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center, 2106 Nanshan Boulevard, Nanshan District (南山区南山大道2106号南山文体中心)
