Show Description

Join us on a sensory journey through four distinct worlds, each inspired by a different kind of tea and its unique mood. The show moves from intensity to freshness to elegance to imagination, creating a clear visual and emotional progression for designers to build upon.

The production opens with black tea, a bold and dramatic beginning that brings rich color and powerful energy to the field. From that strength, the show brightens into green tea, an invigorating movement full of clarity, motion, and refreshing uplift. The atmosphere softens with yellow tea, capturing a delicate, airy awakening where the ensemble can explore lightness and grace. The program concludes with herbal tea, a warm and whimsical finale that leans into creativity and magic, leaving the audience with a sense of wonder.

The evolving palette and contrasting moods, give this show a flexible thematic canvas, that will allow you to shape a production that gradually unfolds from dark intensity into glowing imagination.
