How To Hold Up The Sky
A contemporary mythology unfolding in a bustling city, telling three intertwined stories set in an airport, on a bus, and in an apartment. The play explores themes of family, love, independence, and the burden of expectation, loosely drawing inspiration from the story of the Chinese goddess Nüwa, who's sacrifice saved humanity. Through the experiences of a daughter departing at an airport, a young man grappling with overwhelming news on a bus, and a woman reflecting on her childhood in an apartment, the narrative delves into the characters' internal struggles and their relationships, ultimately questioning what it means to ‘hold up the sky’ for oneself and for others.
