Discovered a hidden gem of a comedy store! The play "Death Intervention" by Geez Comedy really struck a chord with me

Found this treasure of a theater tucked away in a Huangpu shopping mall! "Death Intervention" by Geez Comedy Store had me in tears by the end of its 90-minute runtime, with an emotional impact that lingered long after 😭 📍Address: LG203b, No. 21, Lane 800, Zhongshan South Road, Huangpu District (It's on the underground second floor of the mall block – easy to find with the signs. You can even do some shopping before the show in a super relaxed atmosphere~) 🚇Transport: Direct access via Metro Line 9, just a short walk from the station. Perfect for grabbing a nice meal nearby after the show – super convenient! 🎫Play: "Death Intervention" | Duration: 90 minutes The storyline feels like an exquisitely crafted documentary! A child inherits a seaside house and pieces together their mother's life through clues – from her rebellious youth leaving home, to being trafficked, giving birth, escaping, rebuilding her life, until her final departure due to breast cancer... Each chapter serves as a key unlocking humanity's most complex corners, leaving viewers with a bittersweet ache in their hearts 🌊 The viewing experience is absolutely divine! - Total immersion! The actors perform right before your eyes, so close you can see every emotional flicker in their gaze. You don't feel like an audience member, but someone sitting in that seaside house listening to the story unfold. - The exploration of humanity hits hard! The child's perspective of confusion and the mother's struggles lay bare unspoken love, pain, regrets and resilience, leaving you deep in reflection about "life" afterwards. - The actor's multi-role performance is phenomenal! The same person writes, directs and plays all roles – switching between child, mother, police officer, father, even the imagined "Johnny" in heaven (a nod to "Proof of the Man"!) with seamless transitions in gaze, tone and body language. The way small gestures distinguish characters is masterclass acting – I'm in awe! - Super natural interactions! Moments like calling for a "zipper" or presenting flowers flow organically with the plot, making you feel like you're helping fulfill a character's wish – total engagement! - Minimalist yet powerful! With ultra-simple sets and props, lighting and sound effects conjure the seaside breeze and old house atmosphere. The acting carries everything, creating deeper immersion than big-budget productions! The 90 minutes flew by, leaving me completely absorbed in the mother's story. These intimate, beautifully crafted plays are true treasures – highly recommended for anyone wanting to quietly experience a powerful story. Worth every penny!

#summervacay Pop Mart Disney Town offers a whimsical shopping experience filled with collectible charm. The store is a treasure trove of blind boxes featuring beloved Disney characters, each designed with intricate details and vibrant colors. We also found other Pop Mart characters like the famous Labubu, but the main event was the Pop beans shopping wherein you choose a container and then choose among a variety of small pop mart characters called Pop beans. It is a fun experience choosing and fitting all the various cute characters on the container! It is certainly a unique experience my daughters had! #popmart #popbeans #disneytown #shanghai
