Description
Hua Mulan is a classic heroine in Chinese literature. In Northern Wei dynasty during a time of foreign invasion, Mulan’s aging and vulnerable father was drafted into the army. To protect her father, Mulan disguised herself as a man and took her father’s place at war, even though this was illegal. Mulan became a General, led the army through bloodbaths and cruel battles, won the war and saved the country. However, when Mulan confessed to the emperor her real identity and pleaded for his permission to fight in the next war, she was punished. This production reflects on the power and status of women. Should adherence to traditional conventions always be seen as the highest virtue? Can doing something “wrong” be justified if it is for the “right” reasons?
