ShPTF – Muju Group: Seasons of Love

Stories of the Characters, Our Love

ShanghaiPRIDE Theatre Festival 2016 presents Seasons of Love, a show by an all-female cast produced by Muju Group

A passionate work that will give voice to love
Hey, can you see the colors of love approaching us?
Hey, can you listen to the sounds of seasons changing?
In Summer Love, Lan is sentimental, nervous and confused, yet dares to love without hesitation
In Autumn Love, Bai is patient, eager to settle down and to make promises that will last forever
In Winter Love, Zi is like a deadlock, no one can see that underneath her indulgence lies a deep love
In Spring Love, Qing is sincere, “regardless of the distance between us, you are daytime, I am night”
As seasons change, four love stories are unfolded…

In Seasons of Love, Lan, a young professional, meets Bai, a mature, good-looking entrepreneur woman, her wild and outspoken co-worker Zi, and their indulgent colleague Qing, whose girlfriend lives abroad. Lan and her girlfriend loved each other deeply but Lan’s inferiority complex brought their relationship to an end.
At a certain point, Lan realizes that the company is facing a crisis which causes a severe conflict between Bai and Zi. However, the company crisis seems to be related to Bai’s personal life. How will the company overcome the crisis? How will the four characters find their true love? 

Producer’s Note

Zhao Mu, founder of Muju Group, young director, producer
It was at the wonderful encounter with the director, with similar art recognition and value of love that led to the birth of this work.
When I was listening to Astor Piazzolla’s Four Seasons & Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, many vivid pictures came into my mind. Then just the other day, I thought why don’t I compare my understanding of love to the four seasons? It would be a fantastic show.
Because, Seasons of Love represents each of our love story.

Director’s note

Yang Jueman, young director
Love perhaps is the third inevitable subject, after life and death. Why exactly do we keep searching for love?
With this question, I want to lead you into a world where these four characters’ love and relationships go beyond notions of right or wrong. Their love stories, entangled in confusion, frustration and helplessness, are full of twists and turns.
What we appreciate is every encounter.
