When a beam of light falls precisely on a vast stage; when a person quietly walks through this light—a world is born. The simplest form, yet richest expression of emotion—this is the charm of monologue, and it is the spiritual core that the International Monologue Festival has established and upheld since its inaugural opening in March 2023. Looking back, the inaugural Gulou West Monologue Festival, through performances, a one-act short play competition, an immersive traditional Chinese drama show, and a theatrical forum, planted the seeds of the monologue and witnessed the incredible energy that a single-act performance can unleash. The following autumn, the second International Monologue Festival transcended national boundaries, inviting outstanding works from Greece, Russia, Denmark, and other countries. This allowed Chinese audiences to glimpse the diverse landscape of monologue art worldwide and allowed the world to hear the voices of Chinese monologues. Now, the third edition has arrived as promised. With even greater sincerity, we bring together 19 top-tier works from China, the United States, Spain, Georgia, Argentina, and other countries and regions. Together, they will paint a picture of the cutting-edge of contemporary monodrama. Furthermore, this year's festival will span autumn and winter, from late October to the end of the year, offering a longer-lasting, more intense theatrical marathon. In addition to familiar theater venues, this year's festival will collaborate with the First Langyuan Vintage to find the most suitable narrative venues for these unique "one-person" plays. Within the confines of "one person," we continue to explore the infinite universe and philosophy of human emotion. See you at the theater.
