Stan Lai, or Lai Shengchuan, an award-winning US-born Taiwan-based playwright and theater director, signed an agreement with SIP authorities in October to open a studio in SIP. The studio focusing on performing art is expected to become an iconic cultural project in SIP.
Lai is well-known for a list of his plays including “A Dream Like A Dream”, “Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land” and “The Village”. Several of the works received positive response from the audiences when they were staged at SIP’s Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre.
“I’ve visited Suzhou many times, and is deeply impressed by the profound ancient culture and modern artistic atmosphere here,” Lai said.
