Ai Weiwei's Turandot plot

World-renowned Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei transforms Giacomo Puccini's controversial Turandot into a reflection of our turbulent times in this intriguing documentary. For his directorial debut in the opera world, Ai chooses the majestic Teatro dell'Opera in Rome as his stage, where he examines the century-old work. With his characteristically uncompromising vision, he confronts the opera's orientalist and stereotypical elements.
