Gallery: ‘Skywatching Down the Well’ explores conflict between themes of tradition, growth

Shedding light on the life in Weilan Village, a small mountain town in Southwest China, original play “Skywatching Down the Well” produced by the Cfan Chinese Theatre Group at UCLA reimagines the Chinese idiom “The frog at the bottom of the well.” Written and directed by Dorothy Guo, a third-year theater student, the play was performed at UCLA Lani Hall on Nov. 23. The story illuminates the struggle between staying and leaving, the interplay of past and present and the conflict between tradition and growth.
