Million ways to die, choose one

If you were going to die tomorrow what would you take to heaven? This is the question director Huang Ying calls on his audience to explore through his drama To Be Continued, which is running at the Oriental Avant-garde Theater.

Four young amateur actors give up their jobs and sacrifice love to rehearse a play together. They create the character Mo Li and set the condition: One night the God of Death visits Mo and tells the 28-year-old woman she will die soon but she can spend her final 24 hours finding one thing to take with her. If she cannot find it in 24 hours, she will repeat her last day until she does find something.

When the play starts, the four go onto the stage with a big suitcase full of costumes and props, as if they are rehearsing. As they introduce the background of Mo, a white-dressed woman enters the stage to play the part. Then the four actors open their suitcases and put on various costumes to play different roles as Mo's friends, colleagues, schoolmates, lovers and parents.
