abstractSynopsis:
Four bourgeois artists from Taiwan celebrate Christmas in New York. In the first part of the play, witty, sharp conversation and speeches taunt the lay perspective on love and pleasure, social-role impersonation, and transgressing the boundary between sex and gender in this party. The second part displays scenarios of pre-middle age anxiety in a virtual marriage. Actors enact the Bobo (bourgeois bohemian) manner of living, vividly staging a metaphor to illustrate Taipei-New York cultural hybridization.
