    Atelier @ Theaterlab Hosts TWO SHOWS BY DREAMBORNE THEATER Dreamborne Theater’s THE SPRING THAT NEVER CAME by Ye Ye directed by Victoria Helu Chen GET TICKETS The Spring That Never Cam e, (p erformed in Mandarin Chinese) follows Axin, an 18-year-old senior trapped by exam culture and the demand for a “secure” future. In her made-up theater universe, “Three Thousand Springwaters,” she summons the sex worker Gou, who claims to be a performance artist of the avant-garde spectrum. Up until Gou’s defiance fractures the universe and forces Axin to release Gou from his grip, the unseen “Audience” lords over her body, her desires, and her thoughts. What Axin has given up in order to stay alive must be confronted. CAST: Joan Zhao (赵天怡), Serena Zhang (张司涵), Kat (肖美萱), and John Jiang (蒋皓宇) and ANGELS, by Tara P. Nyingjè directed by Yannis Ning GET TICKETS angels, (performed in English) is a solo one-act set in a quiet bar, structured as seven “loops” that re-stage the same existential dilemma under shifting regimes of observation, desire, and physical consequence. Night after night, a Messenger returns to learn the house rituals: how to move stealthily, how to “stay,” how to be watched without taking up space. Above her, a painting of cherubs and an overly tall mirror act as witnesses, looking up can mean trouble, and trying to see clearly can injure the body. As the piece moves through training, exchange, breakage, and aftermath, it arrives at an unsettling inheritance: not that no one arrives, but that visibility itself is governed: who gets to be seen, and at what cost. CAST A: Tara P. Nyingjè (寜婕) and Michael Sarian CAST B: Hana Vo & Alan Lecheng Chao (晁乐成) TICKETS General Admission : $25.00 ($27.50 with fees) For any questions, please contact inshadowbloom@gmail.com
