About the Performance:

Long nights, dreams back... Weave a story and make it come true. Let the sleeping gods wake up and fold up the outline of insomnia and flying memory. The distinction between reality and fiction is indistinguishable, and the beautiful moments are transparent ephemera, imprinted on the surface of the water in the serene morning light. The distinction between reality and fiction cannot be discerned, and the beautiful moment is the transparent vision of the water in the quiet morning.
