Features: This book starts from the perspective of theater and theater research, exploring the close connection between performing arts and religious rituals. Between the simulated illusion of the theater and the divine revelation of the festival, there is a subtle exchange between the audience and the believers, as well as between the performers and the ritualists. In this way, the cohesion of a community is repeatedly purified. This book takes the Chinese ethnic group in Singapore as the research subject, further delving into the new impact that the migration of theater and religion has on ethnic imagination and practice.
