Evolutionism Or Dammit, We Took the Shortcut!

Synopsis:
A boy accidentally kills a monkey in the zoo with a piece of gum. After that, the world swirls. In a matter of time, his Father will wing through the path of evolution and find the answer. Would he give up the civilization of mankind and return to the innocence? This play aims to examine the definition of civilization by parallel stories between human beings and monkeys in an absurdist way.

Lifetime Fairytale

Synopsis:
An old Chinese myth "rebottled" like old wine in new skin, Lifetime Fairytale takes us on an emotional journey through both time and space. A story of love, beauty, obligation, and fairies, it is also a story of growing old in the presence of youth. Lifetime Fairytale begins with the journey of a student and ends with the progress of a man. He started climbing. the process was slow. He gained courage from love. He never changed his heart. "We will meet and live together," he said.
