Based on Eileen Chang’s celebrated novel "Red Rose and White Rose," this design serves as the marketing material for its theatrical adaptation of the same name. The imagery of red and white roses blooming captures the essence of the narrative, set against the vibrant yet tumultuous backdrop of 1930s Shanghai.
The contrasting roses symbolize the dualities explored in Chang's story—passion versus purity, desire versus duty, and the complexities of human relationships. The red rose represents the fiery and forbidden love, embodying the protagonist's deepest desires and inner turmoil. In contrast, the white rose stands for the societal expectations of purity, order, and the tranquil life he is supposed to lead.
The backdrop of 1930s Shanghai, with its blend of tradition and modernity, provides a rich cultural and historical context. The city was a melting pot of Eastern and Western influences, a place where ancient customs clashed with new ideas, mirroring the protagonist’s internal conflict and the novel's exploration of identity and societal pressures.
This artwork aims to evoke the intense emotions and the era’s aesthetic, inviting the audience into a world of dramatic contrasts and poignant beauty. The visual elements not only honor Eileen Chang's literary masterpiece but also entice theatergoers to delve into the evocative and intricate narrative brought to life on stage.
