Watery Wuzhen puts on a wave of shows

Annual theater festival turns ancient town into giant stage, with performances around every corner, Cheng Yuezhu reports.

This year, the festival also shed light on inclusive art, with a "Nothing Is Impossible" section dedicated to The Revised Future, a play written and performed by actors with diverse abilities from The Pleasure Troupe, an original theater brand founded by a group of enthusiasts.

The production addresses social issues in a sci-fi setting. In a distant future under alien attack, people with disabilities are able to receive body modifications and are treated as superior to those without disabilities. The protagonist, a boy without disabilities, is accused of patricide, and as the trial progresses, the group's struggles come to light.
