AWAKE 醒來
Vocalist
The plot orbits around Si Yu and Lin Jiang, survivors in a reborn world. Residing within a secluded forest cabin, a peculiar fish’s arrival prompts Si Yu to question her existence, unfurling a potent tale of self-awareness and life’s essence. Guided by the central motif of venturing toward one’s “Oriental,” AWAKE is a call to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and truth-seeking. More than a play, it is a transformative experience that illuminates, inspires, and brings healing.
Bridging various artistic disciplines, including music, acting, and embodied performance, and bolstered by innovative projection and lighting technology, AWAKE expands the boundaries of traditional theatrical experiences. This multidisciplinary approach meticulously crafts an emotive landscape, drawing audiences into the characters’ experiences.
