Studio Acht: Falling into Dreams

Falling into Dreams brings together the brilliant Chinese opera male Dan singer Chao Hsin and an ensemble of four musicians who move between musical traditions to tell a story of human longing in war across time. Exploring the potentials of a “text score”, the piece experiments with new ways of musical narratives while probing the sonic and rhythmic strengths of classical texts.

Based on A Young Wife’s Dream, a Chinese opera classic written in 1931—reverberating its contemporary war-torn experience while referencing Du Fu’s poem Parting of Newly Weds from the 8th century— it depicts the story of a newlywed couple separated by war because of conscription. An enduring motif throughout history. As the wife yearns for her husband’s return day after day, her fervent hope and sense of despair turn into a dream, in which their brief reunion ends with scenes from the battlefield.


◎ Suggested Age no limited.
◎ In Mandarin with Chinese and English surtitles.

VMTheatre Company:Don’t Cry, Dancing Girls Musical Concert

2023-2024 best-selling, phenomenal musical Grand debut as a brand new musical concert!

When three sisters returned after many years to their old family home in Huwei, Yunlin, they found that their uncle, aunt, third great-uncle, and second great-aunt had hardly aged a day; only the passage of time had left its mark on the derelict house. The sisters, initially falling over each other to waive their right to inheritance, in an unexpected series of events were drawn into their second great-uncle's dying wish—the Song family member that performs in the soul-guiding song troupe may receive the family's five million inheritance. The three sisters took on the challenge; with the aim of splitting the inheritance, they started from scratch and restrained themselves in the art of the soul-guiding song. As they searched through the small town, they unexpectedly evoked memories of their long-lost father—a gambler and Taoist priest, and their mother, a professional mourner, and the estranged family ties, at long last, emerged one after another
