Liu Dan's Work Stranding

Date: Oct 14-15－7:30 pm

Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts

Price: 120-240 yuan

Stranding is a drama on "youth". However, the "youth" here is unrelated with age, but is a state of living. There will be one frustration after another in life, which makes us gradually doubt ourselves, feel at a loss whether to correct our character traits or demerits, and compromise with warnings from empiricism, so that finally lose our execution that drives us to strive for our ideal. Most pitiably, when that moment comes, we may have many reasons to urge ourselves to jump at it. Then the youth are considered "mature".
