EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Exotic Play, a popular Chinese street theatre performance commemorating the New Year during the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of China, where the vibrant energy of the New Year celebrations is palpable. The performers, dressed in colorful and intricately designed costumes, are seen engaging in a lively dance around a large barrel, their faces expressive and full of emotion. The barrel, a common prop in traditional Chinese theatre, symbolizes prosperity and good fortune, making it an essential element of the New Year celebrations. The Exotic Play was a popular form of entertainment during this era, drawing large crowds of onlookers who would gather to witness the elaborate performances. The plays were known for their exotic and fantastical elements, often incorporating elements of mythology, history, and folklore. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural history of China during the late 19th century, providing us with a window into a time long past. The performers' energetic dance, the colorful costumes, and the large barrel all come together to create a scene that is both mesmerizing and enchanting, leaving us with a deep appreciation for the enduring traditions of Chinese culture.
