About

The word 戏剧 is formed through a conceptual fusion of its two component characters: 戏, which originally conveys ideas of play, performance, or game, and 剧, which carries notions of intensity, severity, and by extension, a plotted story or a severe, impactful situation. Together, they merge the idea of a performed act with that of a structured, intense narrative, evolving to specifically represent the composite art form of theater or drama, where staged performance and a compelling, plotted story are inseparably combined.
