Interview with '1980+' Creative Team 1980+ Playwrite: HUANG Ying, AN Ying, WANG Ji-Yao, SUN Xiao, ZHOU Jian-Sen Adapted by: Zack SHENG Zhao-Chen, Gordon GUO Zi-Qing Director (Performing): Jenny ZHANG Jing Director (Production): Ariel WANG Yan Dramaturg: Zack SHENG Zhao-Chen Starring Andy GUAN, Sunnie SUN, Sprinny LUO, Yoyo HE, Tony LIU, Zack SHENG, Leo YUAN, Scott Flett, Bucky ZOU, Josh CUI, Hannah JIANG, Cyndi DING. The First Chinese Play in the Sydney Fringe Cathay Playhouse's First-ever Experimental Theatre Production *For tomorrow is our destiny where we ponder and pine for our youth* "Who do you want to become? Who are you now?" A slave to work and study, how long since you last asked yourself these questions? We all grow up with dreams, hoping to realise them one day. Yet just when we are about to fly, our sense of direction rather grows unclear. We once wanted to take over the world! - but our stage has reduced to the size of an office table; sweet roses and love poems taken over by mortgage stress and milk powder; and the wish to escape into nature is now pure luxury...... Perhaps you, just like them in the play, are facing the same questions without a clue of an answer. Let these two hours belong to 1980+. Switch off your phones, forget the boss, the reports: let's just sit and have a good chat. These two hours may be a fleeting moment in our lives. Yet it is these small moments that form "us": contradictive, closed, unconfident, but nonetheless assertive, generous and amiable. So, now, who are you? 27 September - 29 September 2012 Sydney www.cathayplayhouse.org *All performances will be presented in Mandarin, with Chinese & English subtitles. *1980+ runs for 2 hours, no interval.
