		Literary critic Henry Y. Zhao asserts in his recent study of Gao’s dramaturgy that Gao is “ultimately a dramatist”; (143) and that his style is that of a “director-like playwright” (45) [1]; he writes his plays for performance and offers numerous suggestions as an appendix to each script, detailing ideal staging techniques.
		Gao’s plays take place in unspecified locations and do not include family members related by blood—so there is no pressure to cast students of a specific culture who may not be available or talented, and no excuse not to cast the student of color who is available and talented.
		Gao does often invite use of lighting and sound to compliment the actors’ actions and moods, but he by no means requires sophisticated lighting and sound plots--or any at all.

	Criticism: Soul of Chaos: Critical Perspectives on Gao Xingjian. - book review
		William Tay argues that Gao's avant-garde theatre frees the stage from socialist-realistic constraints by means of Artaud's and Grotowski's theories of the minimalist theatre and the theatre of poverty while at the same time sustaining traditional Chinese aesthetics.
		Gao goes beyond Artaud's "total theatre" by allowing characters with in-depth social, psychological dimensions; by stressing the cordial, festive atmosphere during the performance, Gao's theatre clearly differs from Brecht's theatre of alienation.
		Whether Gao's characters at the bus stop are an optimistic commentary on the future of China or whether their seemingly unending wait is a nihilistic criticism of communist China, the riddle of the bus stop asks for the individual's participation in a possible decoding, thus creating the individual in totalitarian China.

		This collection of recent plays by Gao Xingjian is worth investigating by merit of the dramatist's receipt of the Nobel Prize and for the controversy raging around him and the Prize in China.
		Gao Xingjian's artistic sensibility was chiselled out of his double frustration of public condemnation and private shock.
		Some of Gao's views, on man woman relationship for instance, may not be palatable to the Western sensibility, but one has to understand the vast compass that he is handling in these plays.
