This volume reshapes a contemporary understanding of research in theatre and performance arts. Bringing together distinguished scholars from all over the world, the book serves as an arena for international scholars to introduce innovative research methodologies and disseminate their research findings regarding VLT, data archiving, and digital history and discusses the impacts of digital culture in art production, stage performance, film, and literature. The Ibsen focus in the book is illustrative of the power of digital database research that is generating new relations in spatial-historical dimensions that have otherwise gone unnoticed. It demonstrates how a new methodology can bring practical benefits to handling big data with the support of digital technologies. In line with the post-pandemic landscape, this book engages a reflection on how the digital revolution has brought about changes and challenges, and constraints and breakthroughs within the field of theatre and performance arts. It is of appeal to theatre artists and practitioners, scholars, critics, librarians, digital archive engineers, and postgraduate students interested in theatre, performance studies, digital media, information technology, library science, communication, education, sociology, as well as political science.

This dissertation examines a Chinese transcreation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler into the yueju
Heart Higher than the Sky (Xin Bi Tian Gao). It argues that this performance text is
implicated in contestations over the representations and consumptions of femininity, Chinese
identity, and aesthetic purity within contemporary China theatre. Two intertwined aspects of a
cultural imaginary dominate the discussion: the representations of women in the yueju genre
and by extension within the Chinese culture, and the search for a Chinese identity in and
through Chinese traditional theatre.
The discussion of femininity is closely tied into the discussion of "Chinese-ness". This
dissertation asks questions such as: What is a Chinese woman? What are their socially
prescribed aspirations? What kind of gender norms apply to them? The author attempts to
answer these questions by looking at the female depiction in the history of the yueju genre, an
art form that closely reflects and informs the transformations of women's social status in
China. In addition, she looks at the lived realities for women in today's Chinese society,
arriving at the conclusion that this yueju adaptation of Hedda Gabler challenges some areas of
the current gender norms in China, as well as reinforces other areas.
As part of the effort to change the way women and their assigned roles are viewed in the
cultural imaginary in China, Heart Higher than the Sky suggests certain ethical values, both
for the women and for the society at large, through promoting traditional "Chinese" values in
traditional theatre. By adapting an Ibsen play into the traditional Chinese yueju form, the
artists of this production evoked a search for a "Chinese identity" in and through Chinese
traditional theatre. This searching is done in a two-way manner: placing Ibsen's provocative
characters and stories in traditional Chinese theatre challenges the Chinese audience's idea of
what "Chinese-ness" is; and interpreting Ibsen's play through a traditional Chinese theatre
form sets up an image of a Chinese imaginary to the world.
