Description
abstractSynopsis:
Pronounced as "Ta Ching Chu," the Chinese title of this play comes from the transliteration of the word "touching," which implies the intimacy created by ongoing conversations among female friends. Four main story lines of this play (Butterfly Lovers, Animals, Invisible Actors, and Pheromone Dairy) are interspersed with each other, highlighting the diversity and reversibility of each character's identity, and also presenting the delight and liveliness of lesbian romances. Butterfly Lovers imagines Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's conversations after becoming butterflies following their death. Animals features non-human images to interpret different personality traits of female characters. Invisible Actors uses actors in black to portray female martial art secret agents who use secret codes to connect with each other in public. This character is deployed to imply how lesbians have to hide their real identities in public and recognize each other through codified language. Pheromone Dairy personifies the "pheromone lady" as the main body that evolves into eight female characters, who narrate with monologues that depict memories related to their love and desire. Interspersed with several singing and dancing scenes that go along with brightly colored costumes, the stage atmosphere turns out to be quite delightful and amusing.
