From the early 20th century, the West became much more intrigued by oriental theatre cultures. In some cases they became a source of inspiration for avant-garde stage directors. For the proponents of avant-garde drama the theatre performances originating in Bali, China, Japan and India gave credence to their own artistic way. Mei Lan-Fang, one of the premiere performers of Beijing Opera, belonged among the theatre professionals having a profound impact upon the European avant-garde. His guest performances in the USA (1930) and the Soviet Union (1935) were received with great enthusiasm by Stanislavsky, Meyerchold, Eisenstein, Brecht, Chaplin, and the others. We have been left with their testimonies of appreciation of his art and mention of the profound impact that had upon heir own creation. In several cases, notably in Soviet Russia, Mei Lan-Fang's performances served as a model example of the existence of the metaphoric, sign and poetic theatre alongside the official socialist realism.
