CMG 2010 MUSICAL 《春祭》 CRIMSON SPRING

Original Script. Original Music.

MU Chinese Music Group proudly presents:


《春祭》
Crimson Spring

Co-written by Yi Yuan and Yu Gong
Composed by Anthony Williams
Script Developed and Directed by Felix Ching Ching Ho


夜幕降临,子夜的钟声敲响,城市开始苏醒。霓虹灯下流淌着欲望,法律和制度快要被淹没;爱情是奢侈的,亲情也久已被遗忘;人们的呻吟和控诉谱出属于这座城的交响曲。在这片黑暗中,凶手大开杀戒,谁会成为下一个牺牲的音符。当不谙世事的卖花女踏入这座混浊的城市,她该何去何从?她的花会被送到情人的手中,还是会被插在葬礼的花圈上?当钟声再一次响彻夜空,在浊流中幸存的人们是会微笑,还是暗自落泪?

《春祭》的欲望, 疏离, 政治, 牺牲, 亲情 将会把你吞噬!


The midnight bells strike as nightfall descends and the city slowly awakens. Beneath the neon lights seeps desire, drowning all but the last traces of law and order; love is a dear luxury, family a long-forgotten term; the crowd’s wails and grievances intertwine into this city’s very own symphony. A murderous rampage arises within this darkness, and who shall become the next chord of sacrifice?

What lies in wait for this innocent girl, while taking her first steps in this chaotic city? Will her blossoms end up in the hands of her lover, or land on a funeral wreath? As the bell tolls ring anew, will the survivors of this pandemonium be left with a smile or silent tears?

Crimson Spring will bring you an original musical with the themes of Desire, Isolation, Politics, Sacrifice and Family.

==============================================

*Crimson Spring will be in Mandarin with live orchestra and English subtitles
