Peace

The tragic love between Xiang Yu, who toppled the Qin Dynasty but lost his life in a battle against rival rebels, and his consort Yu Ji has been a favourite theme in plays, films and other art forms. The two’s bond was so strong that Yu Ji travelled with Xiang Yu to the battlefields.


The Dream of a Concubine adopts the perspective of Yu Ji as a witness of war and reimagines her longing for Peace. Through Qu Xiaosong’s contemporary orchestral arrangement of classical tunes, one journeys from the battlefield to a serene realm of peace and harmony.
