"1587, A Year of No Significance"

“A very beautiful play.” — Stan Lai, Taiwanese Stage Director “The actors make lengthy lines flow as naturally as breathing. I admire such stage presence.” — Lillian Lee, Famous Hong Kong Writer/Screenwriter “An experimental theater full of warning awareness.” — Tsui Hark, Famous Hong Kong Film Director
Six figures in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Six theatrical forms
1587, the 15th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty — an uneventful year in the eyes of traditional historians, yet the critical turning point uncovered by historian Ray Huang that set off China's centuries-long decline. In 2026, Zuni Icosahedron brings "1587, A Year of No Significance" back to the stage, integrated with upgraded arts technology to lead the audience in re-examining the intertwined fates of six historical figures in 1587: the Wanli Emperor, Zhang Juzhen, Shen Shixing, Hai Rui, Qi Jiguang, and Li Zhi. When a massive nation attempts to replace technology and law with morality, is the collapse of the country a historical inevitability? A theatrical feast regarding power, destiny, and the silent farewell of an empire awaits your personal witness.
