Sea of the Daughters《女儿的海》耶鲁朱雀剧社2026春戏

Join us for an unforgettable night of theater at Yale Vermilion Theater's Spring 2026 production!

"Sea of the Daughters" is set in a patriarchal coastal village and centered on a mother and daughter as they navigate inherited trauma, memory, and resistance through a ritual of collecting seashells—objects that hold stories of women lost to the sea. This production will bring a new dimension to the university arts scene by creating a space for intimate reflection on gender, intergenerational memory, and collective storytelling, using an original piece that blends poetic symbolism with urgent social themes.

在一座与世隔绝的渔村里，海是唯一通往外界的道路，也是最不可触碰的禁忌。这里的人世世代代生活在同一个信念中：女人一旦触碰大海，就会死。余歌是被一个渔民从外面带回村子的女人。她逐渐融入了这里的生活，成了妻子，也成了母亲。她的女儿聂小鸥在这个规则中长大，从小被反复告知什么可以做，什么不能做。在这个家庭里，大海既是危险的象征，也是无法被忽视的吸引。直到一次意外的发生，父女之间的信任开始崩塌，聂小鸥试图去找到真正的自由，隐藏在规则背后的恐惧、爱与暴力才逐渐显露出来。

The show is open to public and tickets are pay-as-you-wish.

Live subtitles of English/Chinese will be provided accordingly while actors are using the other language to perform on stage.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to witness the power of live performance and we hope to see you there!

Yale Vermilion Theater was founded in 2021, consisting of Yale affiliates across schools and disciplines, as well as community members from the greater New Haven area.

Yale Vermilion Theater 耶鲁朱雀剧社 is Yale’s first and only bilingual theater club and was named after the mythological vermilion bird from Chinese tradition, which symbolizes rebirth and resilience. We are inspired to adapt plays from Chinese-speaking regions into bilingual forms to facilitate cross-cultural conversations. As we learn about the possibility of safely returning to theater in a world forever changed by COVID, we hope that our organization will bring long-isolated people together, share a sense of normalcy and build a much needed community.
