Abstract
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Melbourne University Chinese Music Group (CMG), together with the writer of CMG’s 2013 production ‘The Butterfly Lovers’, this year we will present a perfect combination of music, dance and theatre that challenges the traditional interpretation of love in Chinese musicals. ‘Nanjing, Beijing’ will make its debut in Melbourne in September 2015.
墨尔本大学中华音乐社CMG成立20周年巨献原创音乐剧，「音乐剧·梁祝」（2013 CMG）作者再次携手中华音乐社，一同颠覆既有的华人舞台剧对爱情的传统诠释，用音乐、舞蹈和戏剧的完美结合，在9月中旬于墨尔本震撼上演。
‘Our love is no different from yours’
I’m a man. A man who is supposed to live up to his family’s expectations. But instead, I fell in love with another man.
That’s right. I’m gay.
In a conservative society like mine, I can only keep this a secret. Feeling the pressure on all sides, the fear and resistance in other people is only too familiar to me. I’m afraid of their piercing voices, afraid of their identical stares. I have no way out, so in the end I followed the crowd and married a girl. So now I’ve lied to her, and I’ve let him down
