Wusheng

Wusheng

Sheng - Male Role

Wusheng actors must be good at martial arts roles. The actor performs with swords and spears wielded deftly and quickly without the attacker actually touching his opponent. There are Changkao Wusheng and Duanda Wusheng. The features of Changkao Wusheng are wearing a helmet, heavy-bottomed boots and the use of long-handled weapons. The features of Duanda Wusheng are wearing short and simple clothes and the use of short-handled weapons. Although Wusheng roles requirea highly standard of acrobatics, they must also have a natural voice when singing.
