Yun's Lab Final Showcase

Yun's Lab students have immersed themselves in various aspects of theatre-making, including Directing, Producing, Stage Management, Costume Design, Set Design, Sound Design, and Lighting Design. They stepped into these roles to bring four diverse works to life.

Four Stories

To Live 活着

To Live tells the story of Fugui, an ordinary farmer, as he struggles through sweeping historical changes and personal tragedies. Through his perseverance and sense of responsibility, the play explores how one holds on to hope and family even in the face of despair.

At different ages, each of us may connect with the story in different ways. Whether it’s the passion and idealism of youth, or the reflection and acceptance that come with age, the characters’ emotional journeys mirror our own. We hope that as you watch this performance, it brings you new reflections—and perhaps a clearer sense of what you choose to hold on to in your own life.


《活着》通过一个普通农民福贵在时代变革和生命重大事件中的挣扎与生存,体现了坚韧与责任的主题,表达了一个人如何在绝望与困境中坚守家庭和生活的希望。

每个人在不同的年龄段都会对这段故事有不同的体会和感悟。无论是年轻时的冲动与理想,还是年老时的悔悟与接受,剧中人物的内心挣扎和成长都在深刻反映着每个观众自己的生命历程。希望大家能在欣赏我们这部话剧的同时,从这个作品中获得新的思考,更加明确自己在生活中的选择与坚守。

The Last Laugh 喜剧的忧伤

The Last Laugh reminds us of the quiet, transformative power of theatre. In it, a playwright and a censor, divided by their "symbol" in the war, are brought together by the very act of rewriting a play. Like a tightly closed shell gradually opening, their humanity and tenderness are revealed. It is theatre that first brings them together, and I want to believe it will one day bring them back to each other again.


喜剧的忧伤让我们再次看到戏剧沉静、治愈甚至带来变革的力量。在一次啼笑皆非的剧本修改中,编剧和审查官逐渐摘去对抗的符号,成为共创者、戏中人乃至知己。戏剧让他们产生联结,让人看到他们坚硬外壳下柔软的内心。我愿意相信,戏剧也会让他们再度重逢。

Uncle Vanya 万尼亚舅舅

Struggle and acceptance, conflict and understanding- things that always seem like two sides of the same coin—opposing yet intertwined branches, spread over the vast field of life.

Uncle Vanya begins from such contradictions, but explores a imaginative way of worldview: if people could transcend the limits of languages, why would we face the same challenges? The story explores the classic conflicts of a family, and journeys forward from the ruins of faith, searching for the candlelight of hope.

The fantastic production team unleashed their creativity and brought the classic story of Uncle Vanya to a new demension, weaving a tale of six languages - Russian, Japanese, Thai, Mandarin, Cantonese, English - to make peace with life.


挣扎和希望,冲突和理解,总像是一枚硬币的两面,相互对立,却又像是藤蔓般缠绕生长在每一个人的生活中。对于你,它们会唤起什么样的记忆?万尼亚舅舅是从这样的矛盾出发,以一个假设为切口:如果语言的隔阂不再存在,如果人们之间可以跨越语种的界限,那么沟通会是什么样的?故事在一次次失望与矛盾中展开,来讲述一个从信仰破碎之地缓慢前行,寻找生活的希望之烛的故事。

Buddha Hall 佛堂

In a town where incense never stops burning, a girl departs to find what “home” truly means. Are you a traveler on this road too?

Directed by Harvey Yang and produced by Tina Deng, Buddha Hall weaves light, sound, set, and costume into a poetic journey of home, loss, and memory. This group of emerging artists—each participating in the Yun’s Lab program—has taken on directing, design, producing, and stage management roles over the past few months to bring this original work to life.


家对于你来说是什么?是一曲熟悉的旋律、一处触感温润的砖瓦、一榻心安之所、还是曾经让你放肆诉说秘密的某位好朋友?佛堂讲述的是关于离开家、找寻家、失去家的故事。年少时盛气怦怦的冲动远行,最后魂牵梦萦的却是家乡佛堂的那声老木鱼。你也是这条路上的游子吗?

About Yun's Lab

Course Description

Interested in theatre but always wondering what is behind the scenes? Want to know how a theatre production is done? Yun’s Lab can be your keys to the stages. Our producers, designers, and directors will share their first-hand experiences in theatre with you, and walk you through every phase of a theatre production. You will also have the opportunity to work on a mini-production yourself!

Course Time

March 2 to May 18, weekly on Sundays, expect for the 11th week. There will be a open-to-public showcase session in the 11th week for your self-made productions, presumably on 5/10 evening and 5/11 afternoon. This showcase involves load-in, tech, dressed rehearsals before the performances, and strike afterward. We would need everyone to be available from the evening of Friday 5/9 to the evening of Sunday 5/11.

This is a 12-week project, with an average estimated 3-7 hours per week (3 hours in class + 0-4 hours after class).

Language

The entire workshop will be conducted in Mandarin. Some scripts used in the workshops may be in English.
