新中國成立超過六十年，當中政治是如何影響著藝術的發展？藝術家的個人歷史又如何與大歷史的論述對照？《舞台姊妹》以著名崑劇表演藝術家石小梅為起點，與五位不同年代背景的女性表演者在台上引領我們，共同見證其五十年的舞台人生；檢視現代政治、社會、文化與表演藝術家的關係；並細看她這一代人，一位女性表演藝術家，是怎麼走過來，又如何走下去。

是次演出將打破傳統舞台格局，逆轉傳統劇場的視點：觀眾上台看台上的演出，將觀眾席變為舞台佈景，以嶄新角度審視、認清觀者與演出者、看與被看的關係。

Since the foundation of PRC, how has the development of the arts been affected by politics? And how is an artist’s personal history related to history’s grand narrative? Stage Sisters started with and features on the Kunqu opera master Shi Xiaomei, who as a distinguished female theatre artist will engage in dialogue with five “sisters”, six actresses from six different generations. Wandering between subjects of female identity, sexuality, arts and politics, the sisters’ intimate conversations will shed light on the times and lives of women in theatre under the PRC regime. Together, the Sisters will delve into memories and weave their personal narratives of the New China with references to the political, the cultural and the economic, gently expanding, perplexing and critiquing history’s grand narrative.

Unconventional and non-linear, the performance will create a new kind of theatre experience by putting the audience and performers’ positions in reverse. From subverted perspectives, both the audience and the artists will be persuasively and vigorously questioning about the preconceptions about the theatre that has been holding them from understanding the true, tragic exigencies of theatre experience.
