A dance poem about longing and the four seasons, using Chinese dance techniques with a contemporary choreographic approach.  From the blooming of the red spider lilies in autumn to water lilies waving in the summer breeze, it tells of the cycle of time and its impermanence.  Just as snow might fall in August, two people might meet unexpectedly.

Parts of the show are in Mandarin.

Vanda, an actress, arrives to audition, her bag filled with S&M gear and period costumes. Soon the playwright is drawn into reading his own script with this mysterious woman, with breaks to argue about the meaning of the story and the motivation of the characters. Set in a stark rehearsal studio, this fast-moving 90-minute play is both an intellectual adventure and a very funny encounter between an actress and a playwright.
