MacMillan Hall 117
Movie: Jimmy's
Sound of Colors
|
This play, based on the images in illustrator Jimmy’s
Sound of Colors, is a total theatre combining drama, stage installation, and
music. A girl who lost her eyesight went into a subway in the morning on her
15-year-old birthday, heading toward an unknown future. Wandering one stop
after another, unexpected characters showed up and clues to a mysterious
result were brought up, leading the girl to next stop. Yet, the miracle to
help her regain eyesight never happened. In a metropolitan like this, the
boundaries between what can be seen and cannot be seen; the departure and
the destination gradually blurred. A journey in the subway eventually turned
out to be a psychological trip to explore the courage of life. |

or night market. In Taiwan, the night market consists of streets upon streets
lined with booths with fun games, food, toys, works of art, and much more.
It is a place to go for dinner, for shopping, or just to walk around.
Night markets are always vibrant, crowded, and so much fun. The event will mimic night markets that are found in
