OBLIVION
Project type: Physical theatre
It’s a vast deep sea, with dark corners full of uncertainty Searching for something in memory always feels exhausting Memory is chaotic, dangerous, and deceitful But forgetting is like the seabed of that vast ocean, Wide and forgiving, it embraces everything The things that exist in our minds are like islands scattered across the sea

A mirror named Miss Mima, On the day her master moved away, Met Mr. Oblivion, the messenger of forgetting. He told her she would be forgotten forever, Become an "island" buried deep beneath the waves. Unless she accepted a mysterious offer— To enter her master's dream one last time, And awaken his memory. Faced with her own fading, Longing to return to the heart of the sea, She accepted the terms. In the dream, torn between the present and the past, She found herself bound by a silent fate. And when the dream ended, She was pulled into the ocean's depths, Sinking to the silent seabed below.
