Abstract
Meng Jinghui's theatrical work, Fox Angel, draws on Peter Handke's poem, Song of Childhood, originally written as the theme for the film Wings of Desire, set in Berlin. Fox Angel responds to this three decades-old film through its narrative style and thematic presentation. By amalgamating, reproducing, and rewriting a series of Western literary works, the play encodes the possibility of text reproduction through flowing and unstable theatrical symbols. Using polyphonic voices, Fox Angel writes personal narratives and integrates the vague ideal of "self" into the vital network of "others". The play weaves a text space of multiple subjects within the broad intertextual network, highlighting the post-modern aesthetic characteristics of drama with fragmented and subversive narrative discourse.
