Angels ,
& The Spring That Never came
angels, is a solo one-act set in a quiet bar, structured as seven “loops” that re-stage the same existential dilemma under shifting regimes of observation, desire, and physical consequence. Night after night, a Messenger returns to learn the house rituals: how to move stealthily, how to “stay,” how to be watched without taking up space. Above her, a painting of cherubs and an overly tall mirror act as witnesses, looking up can mean trouble, and trying to see clearly can injure the body. As the piece moves through training, exchange, breakage, and aftermath, it arrives at an unsettling inheritance: not that no one arrives, but that visibility itself is governed: who gets to be seen, and at what cost.
The Spring That Never Came 洛兰塔之春, follows Axin, an 18-year-old senior trapped by exam culture and the demand for a “secure” future. In her made-up theater universe, "Three Thousand Springwaters," she summons the sex worker Gou, who claims to be a performance artist of the avant-garde spectrum. Up until Gou's defiance fractures the universe and forces Axin to release Gou from his grip, the unseen "Audience" lords over her body, her desires, and her thoughts. What Axin has given up in order to stay alive must be confronted.

Everyday Is a Pig's Birthday
A celebration that almost lands.
Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday is a dance-theatre work about birthdays and the strange effort of trying to make another person feel cared for.
The piece follows a recurring birthday party that keeps returning in slightly different forms. People sing, prepare cakes, relight candles, put on hats, and try again. Some guests want the celebration to last forever. Others seem desperate for it to end.
As the performance repeats and shifts, small gestures begin to feel heavier. A birthday becomes less about celebration and more about the uncomfortable distance between people trying to reach one another.
In Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday, the birthday party is a repeated social ritual through which care, intimacy, and alienation are continuously intertwined. The work inhabits a temporality where celebration never fully arrives nor disappears, but is transformed into a choreography of memory, longing, and fragile connection.
At once playful and quietly lonely, Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday invites audiences into a world of flying pigs, melting ice cream, failed parties, and celebrations that never fully settle into place.
