Finding Santa Claus (Early Bird Offer)

Program Overview

This is a unique theatrical experiment exploring the essence of creativity and life philosophy. Three actors, three different scripts, one shared rehearsal room. By taking turns directing, they create three distinct versions of 'Santa Claus.' This is more than just a rehearsal; it is a profound debate on 'how to act' and 'how to live.'

In the play, the three creators hold diverging views: the first seeks discipline and tradition, attempting to combine Santa Claus with Peking Opera facial makeup; the second focuses on immersive experience, striving to explore details within the stage space; the third is full of an adventurous spirit, attempting to challenge the boundaries of the stage through wild forms. These creative visions collide fiercely in the space, sparking a series of absurd yet profound conflicts. If you have ever sat in the audience and felt lost, this play might hold the answer you have been searching for.
