Every bystander shapes how the story ends.
Hidden Tunes is a bold Mandarin musical blending Mando-pop and traditional Chinese instruments, performed with live English subtitles. This original work premiered in 2024 as part of La Mama’s Festival of Mother Tongue, receiving critical acclaim and a Green Room Award nomination for "Outstanding Artist in a Leading Role" (Lansy Feng).
Set in a prestigious music academy and inspired by the #MeToo movement, the story follows the ripple effects of a sexual harassment case on campus – examining how friends, fellow students and professors respond when the truth unravels. As silence spreads and pressure builds, how would the choices of all the “bystanders” shape the story?
Back with new songs, richer stories and a striking new stage design, this year's Hidden Tunes invites you into the heart of a conversation we can no longer avoid. Will you stand by, or speak up?
终曲未响，你我都不是旁观者。
《弦外之影》是一部融合了华语流行乐与传统民乐的原创中文音乐剧，灵感来自多个真实事件。该剧于2024年在La Mama母语戏剧节中首演，收到多方好评以及绿屋奖“最佳主角表演”提名 (Lansy Feng)。
故事聚焦一所顶尖音乐学府，一桩校园性骚扰事件打破了校园表面的平静，也揭开了隐藏其中，权力与性别的隐秘角力。2025年全新版本将视角延伸至整个校园——当真相的涟漪不断扩散，每个“旁观者”都被迫做出选择。沉默、退让或者挺身而出，“旁观者”的抉择将如何改写事件的走向？
现实的复杂从不给出标准答案，而剧场之外，真正的结局，正等待你我共同谱写。
