Seven slices of life. A dance. A fight. A tattoo session.
What's the right way to hold onto someone? What's the right way to let go?
Before It hurts is a physical theater performance, a relational duet consisting of seven scenes, each dissecting an intricate, intimate relationship formed around the death of another. Devised around a scripted text and structured like a concept album, it presents a visceral navigation of the push and pull in various forms of intimacy and the messiness of grieving.

Produced by in-version ensemble:
Producer & Co-Artistic Director - Jane Su
Literary Manager & Co-Artistic Director - Cerulean Long
Marketing Director - Jieru Wang
Development Director - Ruby Wang
