Ai Weiwei's Turandot

Ai Weiwei's Turandot 2025 Directed by Maxim Derevianko

Everything is art. Everything is politics.

There's a first time for everything, and thus Chinese multi-disciplinary artist Ai Weiwei set out to make his debut as an opera director, with an entire film crew following the meticulous preparations of this endeavour. Ai Weiwei's Turandot provides not only a rich insight into the creation process, but also offers a glimpse into the heart and brain of China's most famous artistic dissident.
