Van Gogh

After three years of preparation, the opening play of Inside-Out Theatre - Van Gogh, premiered at the theater in October 2013; it was also its first appearance in the theater circle of Beijing.
The play Van Gogh made various references to latest international researches on Van Gogh. Through the dramatic organization and orchestration of historical stories, the play presents a narration of the last ten years of Van Gogh's life and explores Vincent van Gogh's madness and his mysterious suicide. With more than 50 scenes and 14 characters, the play Van Gogh is characterized with the magnificence and rigor of a personal epic.
The performance of Van Gogh was unanimously approved by audiences from both within and outside the art circle. It has been presented at the State Theater, National Grand Theater, Shanghai Cultural Performance Center and Tianjin Grand Theater upon invitation. The play has helped in securing a position in market for original classic play series of Inside-Out Theatre.

It’s Our World Ahead of Us.

At the end of 2014, Inside-Out Art invited teachers from the Central Academy of Drama to create a new play It’s Our World Ahead of Us at Inside-Out Theatre.
This play is based on slices of Cao Yu’s life at Tsinghua University, during the anti-rightist movements at the National Drama Academy, and during the Cultural Revolution. From the perspective of a fellow playwright, the play shows how Cao was influenced and inspired by real life when he created Thunderstorm, Sunrise, and Beijingers.
Just like the thunderstorm in the heavy summer night in Cao Yu’s Thunderstorm, It’s Our World Ahead of Us provides not answer to questions about Cao's creative career, but a key to opening up to a broader world.
Depicting the drama master Cao Yu in the art form of theatre means more than presenting the figure of a playwright extracted from historical and literary fragments; it is more about exploring the responsibilities of artists from a broader view, discussing the subject of how we can create a more tolerant and authentic environment – a subject that is closely related to everyone that participates in theater practices.
The play went on a national tour in 2016, and was invited to participate in the Cao Yu Drama Festival and the 2015 Chinese Original Drama Invitational Exhibition. It also presented at the Tianjin Grand Theatre and the Beijing Avant-garde Theatre.

Theatre Play: White Rabbit, Red Rabbit

In July 2017, Inside-Out Theater got the authorization of AURORA NOVA Berlin to introduce the play White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, a play that received the “Arches Brick Award” at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, an award for New Performance at the Clubbed Thumb Summer Performance and the “Best New Performance Award” at Berlin Fringe Festival, into the Greater China region.
The Chinese version of the production of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit invited theatre director Yang Ting to get involved in curatorial works. She brought a staring cast consisting of AYa, Wang Zichuan and Zhao Hongwei. The three performers would determine the order of their appearances depending on the result of a lucky draw and bring three consecutive dramatic games to the audience.
The work created by an Iranian writer is neither directed nor rehearsed, while each performance must be carried out by a different performer. Each performer receives instructions to prepare for the performance 48 hours prior to the show, and each performer only performs once.
The work has been translated into at least 20 languages and it has been performed for more than 1,000 times worldwide. Inside-Out Theater was the first to introduce this work to China and to produce and present a Chinese version.
