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.
