Synopsis:

"Do you still dare to dream?"

"你，还敢做梦吗?"

DREAM SCHOOL

Directed by Li Xie, with NAFA Diploma in Theatre (Mandarin Drama)

A group of students embarked on a journey of reform and transformation to create their ideal school, with their individual and shared hopes, anxieties, reflections and doubts.

Why are they doing it? What are they envisioning? What are their blind spots? What are the possible consequences? When all is said and done, are their dreams simply one touch away from dust – perceived as nothing but self-serving, whimsical projections of naivete? Or could these aspirational endeavours, just possibly, hint at a glint of the dawning of autonomous change?

Led by veteran theatre director Li Xie, the graduating students of the NAFA Diploma in Mandarin Theatre programme will create their ideal art school. Emergency Stairs invites audiences to participate in this original forum theatre piece, to investigate what it takes to realise a dream amidst the limitations of unrelenting societal structures. Do you still dare to dream?

理想学校

导演：李邪, 2022年南艺戏剧专业文凭（华语戏剧）毕业作品

一群想要创建"理想学校"的学生，带着他们的希望、焦虑、反思和疑惑，踏上了一段改革之旅。

他们为什么要这么做？他们有怎样的愿景？他们有怎样的盲点？他们会遭遇什么后果？当一切尘埃落定之后，理想学校是不是一个泡沫？一个自以为是、不切实际的天真梦幻？又或者，这个痴人说梦的实验，可能暗示着自主变革的一线曙光？

在资深导演李邪的带领下，南艺华语戏剧专业文凭的毕业生将创建一座他们理想中的艺术学校。避難階段邀请观众走进这个原创的论坛剧场，共同探索在冰冷的社会结构下异想天开的可能。你，还敢做梦吗?
