You seem to have entered a forbidden zone and fallen into a state between dreaming and being awake, gazing at someone and also being gazed at by them. Theatre and new media director Chou Tung-Yen once again touches on the unspeakable life experience of the gay community culture, exploring a male sauna through poetic lenses to take a peek into something that's hidden under the desire-the love without love. Directors Statement: I've always been fascinated with dreams in theatre, the obscurities between lights and shadows, and the mystery of human desire. Two years ago, an unexpected erotic scene in a steam room of a hot spring astonished me with a powerful visual yet visceral impact. I thought there is no better way to share this than a VR experience, which blends all my fascinations in one. No filming angles to hide or cover what's normally hidden. Bringing the audience to somewhere they might never have a chance to be and to look at it extremely close yet absolutely distant. I'm privileged and honored to be able to make this work with a very open and loving team, with governmental support on the land of freedom. Written by
