The Spring That Never Came at TheaterLab

The Spring That Never Came 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.
