A meta-theatrical drama set during China's Republican era that explores the tension between art and survival through the lens of a Chinese opera troupe navigating war, audience expectations, and the absurdity of performance itself.

During the Republican era, wars and conflicts were frequent. On stage, the "Overlord" sings with resounding passion, while below, the absurd spectacle of life unfolds. They must both secure the opera troupe's livelihood and appease the audience in their seats. Once the curtain rises, how should this play be performed?
