For this man from a humble background, to reach the other side is a reminder of his existence. How can he hope to be buried when he can\u2019t afford a tomb? Yang Fei meets other members of the waiting dead wandering this other world: his ex-wife, the girl-rat and her companion, as well as many chess players. But his wanderings remain calm, driven by the desire to find his father, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. <i>The Seventh Day<\/i> of Yu Hua is inspired by the biblical myth of creation and driven by the universal hope of finding answers to personal questionings. After <i>Teahouse<\/i>, presented at the Festival d\u2019Avignon in 2019, Chinese director Meng Jinghui continues his trailblazing exploration of Chinese society. A play of powerful formal beauty, with its troubling dark spheres that move with the wind and this strange shredder of which we can\u2019t help but fear the awakening.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Published in 2013, <i>The Seventh Day<\/i> brought international recognition to novelist <b>Yu Hua<\/b>.

This is a question that is ignored in Europe. In order to answer it, we must try to understand the context of today&#8217;s Chinese theater and the environment in which the playwrights work.
