At the same time, however, abusive use of multi-media has also damaged many productions. Simply, it is a double-edged sword.
59 prodcutions is the champion on this battlefield. In their eye-opening performances one feels their passion for and loyalty to the nature of the theatre. On the other hand, 59 prodcutions dares making breakthroughs by remaking theatre productions into films, distributing the works through the Internet and cinemas. We shall see how legendary female director Katie Mitchell interprets the classical text in her signature theatre works.
