MEI LAN-FANG

Legend has it that Bertolt Brecht's world was turned upside down by a Chinese opera star. The European playwright, who felt that physicality had more integrity than speech, met a revelation of the body's true mutability in the person Mei Lan-Fang. To Brecht's amazement, Mei could use pure movement to transform himself into a woman -- all while still in male civilian attire. Standards of realism in theater would be forever changed.
Mei Lan-Fang's rise to stardom brought with it an increased tolerance toward actors, previously regarded as the dregs of Confucian society. Mei also paved the way for actresses, becoming one of the first masters to accept female pupils. His legacy continues to inform opera both in his homeland and abroad.
