The creator calls the work a bid at “Cantonese opera diplomacy.”
People pass the Sunbeam Theatre in Hong Kong, where “Trump on Show” will open on April 12. By Mary Hui Mary Hui Bio Follow April 6 at 10:12 AM HONG KONG — Start with a performer playing President Trump. Then bring in a long-lost brother who was raised in China.
He found inspiration in the so-called ping-pong diplomacy of the 1970s that help bring groundbreaking openings between Communist Party Chairman Mao and President Richard Nixon. Eventually, Trump and his twin brother are able to reunite. At one point in the opera, Kim Jong Un visits the United States and meets with Trump, who teaches the North Korean leader how to turn his country’s economy around overnight by partnering with Coca-Cola to develop a Coke brand infused with ginseng.
“Trump has a lot of characteristics that people the world over would recognize. Like these hand gestures,” Loong said as he flashed okay signs with his hands. “It’s very special.” “Trump on Show” follows Li’s 2016 production “Chairman Mao,” which chronicled the story of the Great Leader’s love life and dove into the details of his private relationships with three of his wives.The 2016 production drew an intense backlash in Hong Kong, with critics condemning the playwright for whitewashing Mao’s atrocities and one opposition politician accusing him of putting a “red star over Hong Kong.
