" I decided to leave Shenzhen on April 1st."
Zhou Yue said about her five years of life in Shenzhen. She carries a red schoolbag that came to Shenzhen for the first time and has accompanied her for nine moves. On a dark theater stage, participants were asked to turn on a flashlight to encourage her to tell her story.Inside the schoolbag are souvenirs and travel diaries she has collected over the past five years.

This is a story that only begins at late night. Like whispers in the dark, it tells the most personal memories that would seldom be told during daytime.
Tales of Snake Tails is looking forward to creating a theater piece that’s like the city of Shenzhen, and want to connect everyone’s story through games, tracing the footsteps of immigrants to Shenzhen. We will use the city streets as the performing venues to leverage the unique qualities of real spaces, demonstrating the story of the “arrival” and “departure” of people living in Shenzhen.
