Icarus' Wings 伊卡洛斯之翼
This theatrical performance was co-created by Miao Bin and his students based on the story about Daedalus and Icarus in Greek mythology. The children were trying to think about why Icarus didn't listen to his father but flew to the sun. They have their own answers and understandings. They also reflect their own experiences in life to the story. Besides the lines, the children tried to express through their bodies. This play was a result of the drama class of Tianfu No.7 High School Primary Section.
本剧取材于古希腊神话,建筑师代达罗斯在为雅典王子忒修斯出主意,让王子成功进入迷宫杀死牛头怪米诺陶之后,失去了米诺斯国王的信任,于是决定制造翅膀带儿子伊卡洛斯飞离克里特岛。伊卡洛斯跟随父亲代达罗斯舞动翅膀飞在海上,随着越飞越高,结果翅膀解体,伊卡洛斯坠落海中。作品将聚焦于我们是否应该听话,又如何去承受不听话的后果。儿童对伊卡洛斯为什么会越飞越高向太阳飞去有各种不同的解读,那如果还有一次重来的机会,伊卡洛斯还会向高空飞去吗?这将留给自己去回答。伊卡洛斯的经历其实如一场梦境,儿童在这个梦境里飞翔。
Yu the Great Ruling the Water大禹治水
Based on a Chinese mythology story, this play focuses on the relationship between parents and children from the perspective of children. Yu was away from home for 13 years to flight against the flood, and had passed through his home three times without entering it. The child Qi had been living only with his mother since he was born. The constant lack of his father's company led to a lot of isolation and ridicule among his peers, and he slowly became withdrawn and cold. Can the son understand his father's dilemma?

The Mayfly 蜉蝣
This is a puppet theatre that explores the meaning of life and the struggle against fate, created by teachers and children. If even human beings have only one day to live, how do we face the storm and write our own meaning in our limited life time? Combining the symbolism of the mayfly with the anxieties of contemporary human life, this play explores the courage and reflection of
”flying against the wind”. Through the dialogue between humans and mayflies, the play calls on the audience to rethink fate and freedom, life and meaning.
《蜉蝣》是一部探讨生命意义与命运抗争的人偶剧,由老师与孩子们共同创作。如果人类的生命也只有一天,我们该如何面对风雨,如何在有限的时间中书写自己的意义?这一创作结合了蜉蝣的象征性与当代人类的生命焦虑,探讨了“逆风而行”的勇气与思考。通过人与蜉蝣的对话,剧目呼吁观众重新思考命运与自由、生命与意义。

Jingwei Filling Up the Sea精卫填海
The play is based on the story of Jingwei, which tells of a female child who, because her father, Emperor Yan Di Shennong, had to gather medicine in the mountains and could not accompany her, sailed alone to the East China Sea to watch the sunrise but sank to the bottom of the sea and transformed into a bird of Jingwei, vowing to fill up the East China Sea. At the same time, it incorporates the element that children lack companionship in modern life due to the busyness of their parents' work and expresses their thoughts and aspirations in parent-child relationships. The questions raised by the children based on their own experiences and the thoughts related to themselves are the basis for the creation of the play, and the children are also the creators of this play.
本剧以精卫填海的故事为原型,讲述女娃因父亲炎帝神农要山上采药无法陪伴,于是独自驾舟去东海看日出,却身沉海底,化为精卫鸟,誓言填平东海,同时融入儿童在现代生活中因父母工作忙碌而缺失陪伴的元素,表达出儿童在亲子关系中的思考和诉求。儿童根据自身经历提出的问题和联系自身进行的思考,是创作剧本的基础,而儿童也是本剧的创编者。
The Necklace 项链
Adapted from French writer Maupassant's novel, the play tells the story of a woman who was married to a petty clerk and lives in poverty, fantasizing about a life of wealth every day. After a night of glitz and glamour, she was horrified to discover that the necklace was missing, and she and her husband scraped together the money to buy an identical necklace to return it to her friend, spending ten years living a life of misery to earn money to pay off the debt. However, a letter from her friend told her the truth. What is the price of vanity? Is the decade-long self-redemption worth it? How should she face the truth when it comes?
