爆蛹 Blast

Relentless urbanization and the outrageous disparity between rich and poor have confined three lonely men, wildly different in personality and with ages spanning three decades, in a 400 square-foot flat in an unnamed Chinese city. A dispute regarding toilet etiquette sets off a series of ridiculous conflicts among the three flatmates.

Created by Hunan-born playwright Simon Wang Haoran, who is both a witness to, and victim of, China’s rapid urban development, Blast looks at alienation in confined urban living space with a keen sense of humor.

Born in Hunan, Wang Haoran grew up in Shenzhen and now lives in Hong Kong. His plays include The Shackle, Barbecued Pork, and Red Chamber in the Concrete Forest. His directorial credits include The Death of a Writer, The Anxious Women and Phaedra’s Love. His acting credits include The Merchant of Venice, The Tale of a Floating Stone and The Little Dinosaur with a Golden Tail. He received a Master in Playwriting from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and a Bachelor in English Literature (minoring in Japanese) from Shenzhen University.
