One day, Huang Lei, one of the creators of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, was lounging at home when his eyes fell upon a toy dinosaur perched on the table. In a sudden burst of inspiration, the "giant dinosaur" became one of this year's thematic prompts for the annual theater festival's Emerging Theatre Artists Competition. ▲ Amy Zhang Returns to Her Hometown won the top prize in the category of Emerging Theatre Artists at this year's Wuzhen Theatre Festival. Photo provided to China Daily For this year's competition, participants were challenged to craft original theatrical pieces that incorporate three elements — pillows, sunlight and giant dinosaurs — with a length not exceeding half an hour. The first two keywords were contributed by seasoned theater directors Meng Jinghui and Stan Lai, who are also among the creators of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, set in Wuzhen, a water town in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. The festival received 560 submissions for this year's competition.
