A bamboo theater has been sprouting up near my school over the past few days to celebrate an anniversary at a nearby temple.

They start with one column of wood at a corner, and then it extends outwards like a spider web. Regardless how big it is, no building plan is used. Experience bamboo theater builders can build different styles relying only on what they see and feel.

It is temporary and home to Cantonese Opera which can be beautiful but it is an acquired taste.
