The Wuzhen Dialogues have been a fixture of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival since its inception in 2013. They are occasions for the lover of theatre to be in the same room with the master artists at the Festival, to hear them talk about theatre, art, life, and the world, over a cup of tea. I can't tell you how often I have been moved by the diverse and deep conversations the humble Traditional Storytelling Hall has given us, with profound exchanges of minds and souls. The Dialogues are free to the public. Come join us for a cup of tea, and enjoy this year's fascinating dialogues!
