Stage:

Drama Amber (Mandarin)

Amber is a multimedia musical play imbued with Chinese avant-garde director Meng Jinghui's black humor and "post-modernist" sarcasm.

True love is like ageless amber formed eons ago. In a modern metropolis teeming with sheer haste and insolent hypocrisy, could love be clear and crystal?
