Vanity Fair - A Love Story in Glamorous Costume was the opening performance of the "Journey 2000 Festival", and it was invited to be staged in the "Extremes of the World Festival" in Lisbon. Vanity Fair had its premiere performance in 1986, and it was inspired by the article of the same title written by the famous contemporary Chinese writer, Eileen Chang. The story infuses leisure into politics, and politics into fashion, and it is very appropriate to restage this performance at the turn of the millennium.
