The Love Plot
An immaculate story of the most
essential element of human ex-
istence – love – is perhaps the
most brief, yet breathtaking de-
scription of this Keystone theatri-
cal production. Elements: A Love
Story begins when the celestial
orbs send a part of themselves
in human form to Earth in order
to find love, to find each other.
But love on Earth, in its many
manifestations, is a complicated
entity of its own as the audience

in the grand Performing Arts
Center was on the edge of their

the star-crossed lovers – the sun
and the moon – would ever find

Evelyn Huang who designed
the play’s poster. She also de-

The student-actors were equally
devoted to the play from the
get-go. “We practiced for two
months, and with growing in-
tensity each time,” said one of
the supporting cast members,
Nancy Li from grade 10.

for the students who formed
the 19-member cast of the play.
Elements was a piece of physi-
cal theatre, where dialogue is
expressed through movement
of the body. And it was the sup-
porting cast that made this es-

sential aspect of the play possi-
ble. “As supporting actors, I was
constantly in motion, from one
scene to the next. From the jun-
gle to the city and other scenes,
I would have only seconds to
change outfits, and assume my
next position and role. It was
exciting!” remarked Nancy. The
actors – main and supporting
cast – danced like in a dream,
j u m p e d a r o u n d p l a y f u l l y,
moved like soaring birds, and
