Adapted from the Chinese opera classic of the same title, The Outcast General is Zuni’s cutting edge stage work commenting on the avant-garde as well as on traditional theatre forms. The portraits of Southern Song Dynasty General, Gao Chong, and of a traditional performing artist of today are juxtaposed and cross examined on the red carpet with different cultural backdrops.
