Juliet & Jul-Yingtai
Co-produced by Vermilion Theater Inc and Yale Vermilion Theater (affiliated with Yale University), the Vermilion Bilingual Theater Incubator aims to explore Mandarin-English bilingual adaptations of Classic Shakespeare plays and highlight crossovers with Chinese folktales. Drawing parallels between Juliet and Jul-Yingtai, this original play depicts inward journeys of self-exploration in murderous times, challenging the traditional archetypes of a hopeless romantic and star-crossed lovers.
首届汉化莎剧-朱雀双语话剧孵化项目历时半年,旨在探索莎士比亚作品与中国古典文学的共通之处,通过对梁祝和罗朱中英戏剧文本的共读、改编及二次创作,发掘文学与戏剧在双语环境下的更多可能。

SenStory: Home as a Verb
“Home as a verb” calls for imagining home as a fluid process and an incessant desire to connect. Here participants crafted personal artifacts, mapped their evolving relationship with their surroundings and shared communal rituals and stories in a safe space. The exhibition celebrates the collective resilience and cultural richness of Boston's Chinatown, inviting all to engage in the process of re-defining home.
Over the past six months, a journey that reimagined 'home' as an active, dynamic process unfolded around Boston's Chinatown, where senior residents engaged in a dynamic artists-in-residence program hosted by Pao Arts Center with Vermilion Theater. This initiative, aligned with the vision of Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, harnessed the transformative power of multi-sensory artistic mediums including sound, visual arts, and movement to bridge generational gaps, celebrate cultural heritage, and foster a profound sense of community.

Romeo and Jul-Yingtai online workshop session 3
The proposed project, Romeo and Jul-Yingtai, aims to leverage such strength in the theater art: the project involves a series of script-writing workshops, community-building events, leading up to stage readings, open rehearsals and eventually opening an original Mandarin-English bilingual production.
We believe that the fundamental humanity transcends the artificial boundary of countries and languages, space and time. Theater art carves out a safe space for us to take risks while staying safe and seen - we will meet there.

Vermilion Five-Night Flight
Vermilion's Five-Night Flight is a festival for all theater-lovers alike. We hope to bring the community together by exploring theater as a box of magic (think props, scenic set, puppets, and dazzling lights); a cathartic channel (think the stage, characters behind or beyond the mask, the self inside or outside of you); and ultimately, a uniting, healing space.
