A group of students are embarking on a journey of reform and transformation to create their ideal school accompanied by their respective and shared hopes, anxieties, reflections and doubts.
Why are they doing it? What are they envisioning and visualising? What are their challenges? What are the possible consequences? When all is said and done, are their dreams just 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 Theatre course 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?
