China Tibet Online: Now the Tibetan epic King Gesar has been brought to the stage as a dance drama (created by Chengdu Military Area Command, the drama Hero Gesar was performed at Southwest Theater in Chengdu, Sichuan province, from Dec. 28 to 30, 2011). However, King Gesar performers of old typically performed alone on simple raised platforms. What influence do you think about the traditional Gesar, positive or negative?
