"I want to sing to you"：Musical Confession from China's New Generation

In 2005, a student quite literally "bottling up" frustration sparked an artistic journey celebrating the innocence of childhood. What began as an experimental exploration in a small Shanghai theater soon found cinematic expression at international film festivals, and later, musical adaptations captivated audiences anew. The Search of Sound has now amplified the voices of Chinese children for over two decades. The production reflects the gentle evolution of childhood education across China, exploring contrasts such as suppressed self-expression versus encouraged authenticity, and one-sided demands versus reciprocal empathy. It also bears witness to the growth of China's new generation, tracing their path from silence to center stage, from uncertainty to resolve. This theatrical work stands as a heartfelt testament to its time, an enduring confession that has transcended the years.
