A Confucian Confusion

Playwright Molly and her fiancé, an ambitious businessman, navigate Taipei's intersecting worlds of cultural elites and corporate strivers. Their circle—a cynical painter, a weary actress, and a philosophizing bureaucrat—constantly dons new social personas. Over a few pivotal days, their lives collide in a whirlwind of romantic rendezvous, career maneuvers, and existential debates. Each grapples with performing authenticity in a society where personal identity has become another commodity, and every relationship feels like a transaction waiting to be negotiated.
