Taiwan Bangzi Opera Company - Revenger
When the scars of memories turn into a splendid revenge,
What kind of catastrophe shall it unleash?
Could a decade of resentment be resolved in the blink of an eye?
When your heart is overflowed with self-destructive resentment, could you still recognize your true self?
How much can one sacrifice for the sake of revenge?
Beneath the embroidered uniform lies a battered soul, who chucks out his kindness on the way of revenge. What awaits him ahead? Justice or Self-destruction?
Like a double-edged sword, revenge wounds both one's enemies and oneself.
What's done is done, the furious malice is devouring the once-pure heart of the ranger.
This is a perilous and malicious world, where righteousness and evil clash and factions pursue their schemes. Battles rage on the blood-stained fields of hatred with secrets hidden under the glint and flash of gleaming steel. Who can find that key to unlock the gate of truth?
