Director MENG JINGHUI

Two country canines hit the road for the big smoke, but when they fall into a metropolitan miasma of reality TV, Viagra, SARS and Louis Vuitton knockoffs, they begin to realise a dog’s life isn’t what it used to be.

Director Meng Jinghui (Rhinoceros in Love, 2011 Melbourne Festival) is one of the most influential theatre artists in Asia today, and his laugh-out-loud serving of comic mayhem Two Dogs can lay claim to being one of the most popular works in China.

Performers Liu Xiaoye and Wang Yin have notched up more than 1,000 performances in the lead roles but with an ever-flexible script and onstage chaos forever threatening to tip over into anarchy, no two shows are the same. Pinballing from punk rock to commedia dell’arte, broad slapstick to delicate social satire, these two pooches practice a kind of comic acupuncture on the nerve points of global culture.
