Gao Xingjian, laureate of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Literature, is a novelist, playwright, painter, and director. His novels and plays profoundly explore the human condition, opening new horizons for Chinese literature and theatre. His masterpieces Soul Mountain and One Man’s Bible are hailed as milestones of late 20th-century Chinese literature, while his eighteen plays have been staged across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Australia.
Renowned as well for his distinctive ink paintings, he has held over a hundred exhibitions worldwide and published nearly fifty art catalogues. Through his cross-disciplinary practice, Gao exemplifies universal values, independent thought, and a relentless pursuit of artistic innovation.
In this Distinguished Lecture, Gao Xingjian will reflect on his cross-disciplinary creative practice. He will share how artistic freedom can be sustained under real-world constraints, and how personal experience and spiritual pursuit can open new modes of expression. Through his own journey, Gao invites us to reconsider the relationship between art and life.
