Peking Opera Meets Western Classics
In a desolate wasteland, sits a small mound overhung with boughs. The stage is set for a Chinese version of Waiting for Godot, a two-act absurdist play by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett that premiered in 1953. The uniqueness of the Chinese version lies in its incorporation of Peking Opera elements into the Western classic. Didi and Gogo adopt Peking Opera performances, while the other three characters use modern performing styles. This innovative revamp amazed the audience.
Cui Hao, an undergraduate at Peking University who watched the performance, told that the play simultaneously took the form of Peking Opera while remaining loyal to the original plot. This time around, innovations in Waiting for Godot excited him again.
The adaptation was created in 2005 by experimental actor Wu Hsing-kuo, director and playwright based in Taiwan. However, Wu’s modernization of Peking Opera has sparked criticism from some. Critics say that he has tarnished the traditional Chinese art in a bid to appeal to Westerners through a clumsy fudge of Peking Opera and Western plays and doubt the sustainability of his work.
Nevertheless, Wu has not given up his quest to revitalize Peking Opera. "Traditional opera can survive only by evolving with the times," said Wu, who remains dedicated to expanding theater. He added, "I want to build a bridge between the East and the West, and I wish Peking Opera could have a greater influence in the world."

Traditional Chinese Art Meets Western Classics Chinese version of Waiting for Godot, whose innovative incorporation of Peking Opera elements into the Western Classic by Wu Hsing-kuo, astounds the audience, but at the same time, raises doubts about the durability of this art form. Nevertheless, the playwright declares no surrender of his determination to revamp and rejuvenate Peking Opera by building a bridge between the East and the West. As far as I am concerned, I am fully in favor of his idea. First and foremost, the innovation opens doors to re-vitalization of Peking Opera in the modern world. With the infiltration of western cultures, the traditional Chinese arts are in decline. Since the infiltration is inevitable under the big picture of globalization, the best way of survival would be making use of it. Therefore, I believe, the incorporation of Peking Opera elements into the Western classic can resourcefully justify itself. Besides, the integration is a win-win situation. For traditional Chinese arts to stand on a world stage and enjoy more wide popularity, it needs western classics which embrace immortality among the westerners. For western classics to win favor with Chinese people, they also need to borrow Chinese art forms. Therefore, the combination can better help the spread of both cultures. To conclude, I fully agree with the playwright that traditional Chinese arts should integrate with western classics.
