A semi-autobiographical solo show; the epic tale of an overseas immigrant family. On first sight, it might seem like the story of a family’s history, but questions of “Who I am” and “Where I am” lie hidden beneath the surface. Leading character Marley Ho transforms into a river and invites every member of her family and everyone who grows up in the neighbourhood to step into the river. She urges people to consider where they came from, so that they can start afresh at any time, without burdens.

Dinner for one is a clown-solo played by one actress. The story speaks of one woman who lives alone, and who, in spite of her loneliness and her monotone life, is always looking for love. The play begins from the moment she returns home after work, to the moment she goes to bed. We see how she spends her everyday life in a very small and dull room. With the unwinding of the actions, her joy, loneliness, fear, and dream are manifested in front of the eyes of the spectators.

Adapted from the bestseller “Tuesdays with Morrie” by American writer Mitch Albom, this play takes on every aspect of life in depth. Multi-awarded actor Shi-Jye JIN perfectly transforms into Morrie, sharing his humor as well as insights.

“Paper Cut Dreamer” brings the idea of paper cutting into theater, where the play explores philosophical questions like yin and yang, emptiness, surrender, as well as questions of life. This play takes a minimalist approach and returns to the relations between material and story. The director, Chia-yin Cheng, places human actors and rod puppets on the same stage, and creates an unique way of narration of paper cut figures and human body movement. The story tellers begin with blank sheets of paper and find tremendous energy in cutting the paper, which represents creation and destruction at the same time and gives strong voices to history and imagination. It experiments an aesthetic of theater in which less is more. “Paper Cut Dreamer” resembles a magical fable, with the collaboration of incredible talents, including Hong Kong art director and stage designer Man-tung Tsang and Malaysian playwright Choon-eiow Koh.

interpretation of a mythological story!
