Although the drama based on the Jimbut's story is abundant and intricate,it makes an attempt to discuss emptiness of values between individuality and community.The lines recited-"Why do we perform Jimbut?Jimbut is emptily but relish.What dose the 'relish' mean?The 'relish' means little or more. "

In 10 days performances finished a while ago,audience in Beijing represented their immense enthusiasm on the post-modern play which made use of multiple devices such as DV,traditional Chinese opera,Brecht epic,happenning,unfamiliar scene and mixed style music.
