abstractSynopsis:
Inspired by Plato’s Symposium, the playwright appropriates Plato’s examination over love to issue his concern and reflection on the same topic. The play symbolizes the absurd phenomenon in human relationships trough sound collage and melodramatic scenarios. The twelve actors perform on the sandy, white stage;a big black balloon hangs in mid air. Each character enacts and duplicates passion, sounds, and sexual behaviors to symbolize the process of self-completion through relationships, family, and warfare. That human beings are born incomplete brings the unending pursue of self-completion through love.
