“… The script is a mixture of memory and forgetting of several political movements in 20th-century, China. An old woman who lived alone in her old age… talked to the visiting grandson about the trauma of the family’s past, and at the same time was frightened that her memory would be stolen… Specially, the use of elements, such as misidentifications, recordings, letters, hallucinations, etc., has gradually caused a surreal twist in the original realistic situation. It has also made memory and reality more entangled with each other .”
-Prof. Katherine Hui-ling Chou(Project Director of Black Box Performance Center at National Central University)
“The author does not even hide the traces of reality from which it is told…It is therefore easy to think of the play as something like an oral history…The play comes from the author’s life, compiled from the voluminous notes he recorded while living with his elders. All of a sudden I could see how hard it was to create such a play. It was the weight of truth that made the author devote himself to his work.”
