FUXI: Joy in Four Chapters

Four Sichuan bizarre tales: A Funeral Feast 4000 years ago—on the verge of death, a grandma severs her tail and gifts it to her descendants; A Spring Festival 3000 years ago—a former king returns as a cuckoo, only to cough up blood in solitude amidst the feast; A Mid-Autumn Banquet in the 1990s—spirits gather to honour a millennium-old beleaguered epicurean poet; A Birthday Feast from a century back —a waif meets underworld deities, savouring life’s vastness and death’s fickleness; On and off stage, the living and the dead unite to relish in everyday culinary joys.
