"The Rivers of China" intricately weaves together two narratives, exploring themes of identity, societal power dynamics, and the creative spirit. In 1923, Katherine Mansfield seeks solace and healing with Gurdjieff in Fontainebleau. Juxtaposed against this is a Sydney hospital in the 1980s, where a young man awakens to a world dominated by women. Through their individual struggles for self-discovery, these seemingly disparate stories converge, prompting a daring re-examination of the female artist and challenging conventional notions of sexual politics and theatrical form. This play offers a thought-provoking exploration of gender roles, artistic expression, and the search for meaning in a world undergoing profound change.
