The Butterfly Love

The Butterfly Love, also called the legend of Liang Zhu, is an ancient Chinese story of a pair of lovers who would rather die than to live apart. As they are bound for eternity, their spirits emerge in the form of a pair of butterflies and fly away together, never to be separated again. The story was one of the great folktales in China's Folklore Movement, and has been adapted into traditional Chinese opera and filmed many times. The Butterfly Love is a musically symbolic retelling of this Chinese legend.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
