00:00I'm not interested in opera at all.
00:13Normally I don't listen to music.
00:15My Torandot is going to be different.
00:23This is our director, Ai Weiwei.
00:25He's been called the most powerful figure in contemporary art.
00:29I know Ai Weiwei as a free speech magnate,
00:32as a freedom fighter.
00:35This is a perfect story about China.
00:38China is not a free country.
00:41A few hours ago, the government set some rules
00:44that we obviously can't disobey.
00:48So we have to close the theatre until the end of March.
00:51Thank you very much.
00:53No more rehearsals are allowed.
00:56I always say the world is like my home.
00:59So it's like suddenly you build a home and it collapses.
01:11Why do I have to do a Torandot?
01:14What is my interpretation of the show?
01:26No one has ever done a Torandot
01:29that's about the world today as it is so directly.
01:32Every detail, every costume, every prop
01:35has been designed new.
01:37Nothing is the way it ever usually looks.
01:43Ai Weiwei's Torandot, of course,
01:45relates to his work and his life.
01:48The concept of his artwork
01:51is definitely related to Torandot.
02:02I think art competes with reality.
02:05And art will give you the last words.
