2022 NTT-FUN Yang's Ensemble Love Song: Rhyme for you (Revival)
08/27(Sat)14:3008/27(Sat)19:3008/28(Sun)14:30
The brainchild of talented playwright Birdy FONG, Love Song: Rhyme for you (Revival) captures the passion and drama as well as the vanilla moments of ordinary people’s love lives. Featuring nearly one hundred most popular love songs of all time and some original new tunes, the show is also a tribute to the memories and classic pop songs since the 1990s. The story tells a mysterious woman who meets a crestfallen playwright who attempts to commit suicide due to his inability to come up with proper rhymes. The two start to take stock of those clichéd but classic romantic stories, a process that reveals their contradictory longing for an extraordinary relationship and the past they refuse to revisit.
