Sichuan Opera

川剧

Sichuan Opera has a strong realist tradition，its performance real and exquisite¹, witty² and humorous. It employs artistic³ exaggerations, and special characters use stunts⁴ such as immortals⁵ who have a third eye on their forehead that they can open suddenly to show their magic power； quick changes of facial characteristics without mgkeup； jumping through burning hoops⁶, and hiding of swords. In short, the essence of Sichuan Opera performance is absolutely true to life, which has been inherited by generations and generations of players.

川剧有很强的现实主义传统，其表演真实细腻，诙谐，幽默。它采用艺术的夸张和特别的人物角色，比如使用有三只眼在他额头上的特技神仙，他可以突然打开第三只眼，以显示他们的法力;没有面部化妆的快速变脸;钻火圈和吞剑。总之，川剧表演的精髓在于绝对真实的生活，这已被一代又一代的演员继承。
