In order to continuously discover potential screenwriters and inject more vitality into the theatre, the script creation programme “Heart River Cultivation Programme” organized by Pop Theatre has entered its fourth year. Pop Theatre welcomes and cultivates local screenwriters with a sincere, open, and expectant attitude, and presents their works to the audience. After the scripts are recruited, publicly read and discussed, the scripts are now publicly performed, turning the texts into reality on stage.

I used to imagine that there would be two people standing under the aurora, but now I am alone. We used to accompany each other, but now we do not owe each other.
