Their desire to experience human love leads to their incarnation on Earth, where they bond through a mutual love of the Chinese musical instrument Qin. The romance between Bao Yu and Dai Yu is well developed: it starts with a stone, left over from the building of Heaven, who is nurtured by a crimson pearl flower. Having done away with many of the minor characters (and some major ones, according to avid fans of the novel), the opera focuses on the trio of the dashing Bao Yu, emotional Dai Yu, and sensual Bao Chai, whose love triangle is overshadowed by the power struggles between their relatives led by Jia clan matriarch Granny Jia. An entire field of literary study and criticism, known as Redology ( Hong xue), has developed around the novel, which points to the complexity of the work. The sprawling narrative interweaves elements of Buddhism and Daoism into a story with more than 500 characters. Alternatively titled The Story of the Stone, the epic late Qing dynasty work plays out over 100 chapters - an oft-cited statistic is that it is double the length of War and Peace. Princess Jia’s request for poetry upon her visit to the Red Chamber is met by the impetuous Bao Yu’s “Within these red walls, peace can be found…” Yet such ignorance of the turmoil happening inside the mansion stands in stark contrast to what the audience witnesses in this adaptation of Cao Xueqin’s classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber ( Hong lou meng). “One Arm” Review: Artscape 9th March 2022.Medical Science and the Irony of Sex Education 10th March 2022.“Clouds Like Waves” Review 12th March 2022.Renowned Egyptian Costume Designer Naiema Agamy Dies on Monday 3rd February 2022.
