A birthday party for the dead.
A room filled with balloons and paper money.
Three people, and a fourth person who was not present.
Song Zhiqing secretly arranged a party just to make up for a belated birthday for her long-dead friend. She invited Jiang Yongjie, who she had not seen for many years, to participate in this "birthday celebration". On the surface, it was a recollection and celebration, but in fact, every action opened up the wounds of the past bit by bit - the dead friend was once the center of their relationship. On the day of the party, the deceased's ex-boyfriend Yang Kaicheng was unexpectedly invited. The long-awaited reunion of the three people quickly disintegrated in the conflict: Who said harsh words? Who missed the last call? Who should be responsible for the death? The party almost collapsed in the mutual accusations of the three people. An absurd birthday ceremony became the beginning of their mutual forgiveness and learning to let go.

Penumbra - Eclipse Theatre Company
The mountains from Taipei and the wind from Tainan project contemporary observations and imaginations with original scripts, and use drama to tell stories interwoven by light and shadow.
"Penumbra" is the intersection of light and shadow, which is neither completely bright nor completely dark, symbolizing the multifaceted nature of human nature, emotions, and stories.
"Eclipse" is a lunar eclipse. When the light is temporarily blocked, the outline of the world becomes more distinct. Through drama, we seek different perspectives and emotions.
