The Basic Ingredients of Love Tragedies

Grandparents who got stuck at traditional values from the village, young female dancer who faces the conflict on values for sex while studying abroad, a girl who encounters emotional abuse, lovers who step into games and manipulation… 6 slides of different love stories are flowing inside a brain.
What is love that we are pursuing? Are we in love with the idea of ‘love’, or the specific person? Or are we just enjoying the processing of chasing love? To what extent our love is influenced by the society and its culture? If in another culture, what we feel painful in love for simply doesn’t exist or isn’t logical, would we still feel painful? What are we really feel painful for? Do you really know about love that you are chasing?

Physical theatre The Basic Ingredients of Love Tragedies is a creative collaboration between Jin Chen and Zhiren Experimental Theatre, hoping to explore diversity of expression for dancers and bring richer and deeper form and angles for thinking, through combining physical expression and contemporary theatre acting.
