AWAKE is a groundbreaking original Mandarin play with music, equipped with English captions, that delves into the themes of truth and illusion, comfort, and adventure. Crafted by Melvin Yen and brought to the stage by A STAGE THEATRE, this compelling post-apocalyptic narrative invites you on a profound journey of introspection and discovery.

The plot orbits around Siyu and Lin Jiang, survivors in a reborn world. Residing within a secluded forest cabin, a peculiar fish's arrival prompts Siyu to question her existence, unfurling a potent tale of self-awareness and life's essence.

Bridging various artistic disciplines, including music, acting, and dance, and bolstered by innovative projection technology, AWAKE expands the boundaries of traditional theatrical experiences. This multidisciplinary approach meticulously crafts an emotive landscape, drawing audiences into the characters' experiences.

Guided by the central motif of venturing toward one's "Oriental," AWAKE is a call to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and truth-seeking. More than a play, it is a transformative experience that illuminates, inspires, and brings healing.
