The Chinese folktale The Legend of the White Snake has been reimagined by an experimental theater in New York.

Qing Bai: Innocence, a stage production inspired by the ancient tale and created by young Chinese theater professionals, ran from last Friday to Sunday at New York's HERE Arts Center, following its US East Coast tour with performances at Brown University and Yale University.

The production drew on The Legend of the White Snake — a love story between a human and a snake spirit that reflects on themes of love, sacrifice and social norms — and used movement, sound and gesture in an experimental theater framework to explore emotional commonalities between Eastern and Western cultures.

Ophelia He, who played the snake and cowrote the production, says the New York staging was very meaningful to her.

"I feel very honored to bring The Legend of the White Snake, a beautiful piece of traditional Chinese culture, to the theater in New York," she told China Daily.

She says that the creative team adopted an "ensemble approach", moving away from a conventional lead and supporting character structure. The four central figures in the show were developed with equal narrative weight, each following a complete story arc.

"The characters were conceived as distinct archetypes. Even without prior knowledge of Chinese tradition or the Chinese language, audiences could still feel the emotional struggles and identities of the characters through performance and physical expression," He adds. "This story can be applied to stories under different cultures. The emotions are universal."

Director and co-playwright Tara Nyingje says the work centers on an experimental approach.

"I'm especially drawn to Chinese folk legends and to exploring how stories people think they already know can be reimagined through different forms of expression," she says. "They can be played in so many different ways and have many different understandings."

Nyingje says that performing in Mandarin shaped both vocal delivery and emotional expression, while the team used English subtitles projected above the stage to help non-Chinese-speaking audiences follow the performance. However, the translation avoided contemporary spoken English.

"The original dialogue sits between classical and modern Chinese; the translation process presented some challenges. It did create some difficulties," Nyingje says. "To preserve the historical tone, the English was rendered in a more archaic tone."

While acknowledging that the language may sound "a bit awkward" to modern ears, Nyingje says the approach was intentional in conveying "a sense of the period and the choices behind the wording" to blend modern and ancient stories together.

Work on the production started in September.

"We want to try to work more on Chinese traditional topics overseas," He says.

She says her engagement with Chinese material was partly shaped by her academic experience in the West. The more she studied Western traditions, the stronger her impulse became to question her own cultural roots.

"This makes me look back and explore the underlying core of my own culture," He says.

"The Legend of the White Snake is a folktale without a definitive version, and the story has evolved through retellings across multiple Chinese dynasties. Changes in language and storytelling conventions, particularly in later vernacular narratives, continually reshaped the story. We want our work to continue through a contemporary dialogue with earlier interpretations," He adds.

"Performance methods are primarily tools. No matter if it's theater or film, it's just a form, an outer shell," Nyingje says. "The ongoing interest always lies in integrating Chinese cultural elements into experimental theater and testing how they could be combined."
