I am inviting some only children to perform stories collected from others about their siblings—stories that will never be told. What emotions and imaginations might arise within them as they, as actors, experience and imagine others' stories about siblings? Confronted with these texts about siblings, they are no longer observers or readers, but become a part of the story themselves.

我邀请一些独生子女来表演那些收集来的,讲述自己兄弟姐妹的故事:一些永远不会说出来的故事。当他们作为演员去体验,去想象他人关于兄弟姐妹的故事时,内心会有什么样的感受和想象?面对这些描写兄弟姐妹的文字,他们不再是旁观者、阅读者,而是故事中的一员。
