Abstract

The chapter examines two adaptations of Singaporean playwright Kuo Pao Kun’s The Spirits Play (1998) in the context of Asia’s conflicted politics of memory. The Spirits Play: Rituals to Soothe the Unsettled Spirits (2011/12)—a nō theatre and kunqu (Kun opera) crossover co-directed by Satō Makoto (Tokyo) and Danny Yung (Hong Kong)—memorializes the Nanjing Massacre of 1937 and the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, while Hung Chit-wah (Hong Kong) and Hung Pei-ching (Taipei)’s The Mother Hen Next Door (2010) and The Mother Hen Next Door: A Tribute (2012) cross-reference Tiananmen Square with Taiwan’s February 28 Incident of 1947. The chapter argues that the invocation of the dramaturgical device of the ghost interweaves a spectropoetics of violence with a spectropolitics of redemption and quest for justice.
