In 2017 for a Christmas present I had gone to see this wonderful production of magic and mysticism. It was a joy to see ancient China come along bringing with it 100’s of years of ancient history.

I Paid to See China’s “Last Primitive Tribe.” Then I Walked Into the Backstage.
At the village gate, speakers played drumbeats, flute, and bird calls. The synth was obvious. Ox skulls hung on totem poles. Fake vines wrapped around them. Staff wore ethnic-style jackets with YKK zippers. The guide raised a little flag and said we were about to see China’s last primitive tribe.
