听说〝太阳剧团〞上周五在北京五棵松万事达剧场演出《迈克尔．杰克逊不朽传奇》轻歌剧，舞台上的布景由3幅大银幕组成，银幕上显示〝坦克男〞照片。照片在荧幕上显示了4秒，观众席一片死寂。我和我的小伙伴们都惊呆了。(I’ve heard that during Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson, the Immortal” performance at Beijing Wukesong MasterCard Center, there was a short, 4-second display of the “Tank Man” picture on all of the three big screens, leaving the entire audience in a shocked silence. I’m flabbergasted!)
