Macbeth is a violent political struggle story, which explores the dark and violent world when a person's desire for power usurps the moral order. Overthrowing the regime by violence is the development of totalitarianism. If Utopia is the yearning for and development of a better society, then anti Utopia is the essence of Macbeth. Red represents violence and blood; black represents darkness and evil. Violence leads to Social Distortion and night.
The more civilized a society is, the more powerful violence is. In modern society, violence is hidden by optimistic and abundant material. It is always around us, such as network violence, doctor- patient relationship, domestic violence and campus violence, etc. If people release violence in another time and space, maybe the problem of violence will be changed.
Traveling through time and space is like a game where you can release your negative emotions. To better express the violent killing of political battle, it is integrated into the Japanese samurai warrior. Thus exploring the psychological and social distortions of the perpetrators of violence.
My world board is set in a future game space-time. This time and space is an dystopia world. There are huge hidden dangers in this seemingly peaceful Communist society. Because the social class is insurmountable, people live a miserable and terrible life. For the sake of ideal and free spirit, people launched spiritual awakening and revolt again. The game begins......

Rusalka Opera is the tragic story of a girl's quest for love. The librettist has created two incompatible worlds: the human world and the superbeing world. The prince's love is more of an 'illusion' that loves him. When the prince first sees her, he calls her Rusalka, who in mythology is the beautiful water spirit. Their mutual lack of understanding and unequal relationship leads to a tragic end.
Symbols were used to express the relationship at the centre of the characters. Rusalka represents a highly idealized, romanticized association. That is, we humans love to indulge in our own created 'illusions'.
The illusion we created and imposed on modern popular idols is merely the imagination of our desire. Rusalka represented the ideas of fans in creating 'products of unrealistic perfection, supported by the exploitation of the capital market in order to gain masses of profit. In order to support the 'illusion', fans will pay for and consume unnecessary products, leading to excessive consumption and waste.
In this project, I used new media to create virtual idols. Virtual idols can be supported by virtual goods, thus eliminating the wastefulness of unwanted and unnecessary products to a certain extend.

The opera is an intimate tale of love and society, centered on the romantic triangle of Radames, Amneris, and Aida, where Radames and Amneris, both dedicated to their country, find themselves in conflict of interest and choose to die. At the same time, Amneris is caught up in love, anger, and paid.
In this triangle, Radames and Aida represent the idols, they as the mass entertainment culture used and created by the capitalists; Amneris represents the fans, who are deeply involved in the mass entertainment culture and cannot extricate themselves from it; Egyptian King represents the capitalists, the elitists. The rapid and fierce competition of globalization is increasing the class. In order to secure the position of a few elites and to bring peace to the world, they are developing the entertainment industry, and as entertainment takes up a lot of people's time, they lose the ability to think and become subservient to it, with the result that people, like Radames, Amneris, and Aida, become entertainment to death in silence, with no means of defense.
