Yearning

12' | 2022 | Color
On the verge of leaving for New York to pursue her Broadway dream, a young Chinese actress blurs the line between performance and confession — as Chekhov’s sorrow stirs the buried regret of an aborted child.
Written and directed by Shae Xu, produced by Yixuan Qi, starring Luying Gu, Qi Shao & Haofei Chen. It is a Columbia University production supported by Robert Gore Rifkind Queer Grant, MUD Gallery and Shanghai Commerce Accounting School. 
- Ah youth, youth! 
青春啊，青春！
- When people can't think of anything better to say, they say "youth, youth."

当人们无话可说的时候，他们会说 “青春啊，青春。”
