Still Ahead tells the story of a long and winding journey home, with stage design crafted from hand-painted cardboard that evokes a fairytale-like, allegorical atmosphere.

On stage, the performer appears with a painted white face, dressed in red, holding a brush dipped in white paint. On an otherwise empty floor, he draws a road “leading home”—an echo of the universal human desire to seek a sense of belonging. He begins to walk, only to be immediately disrupted by a pair of hands waving a conductor’s baton. His balance falters; his body twists and his steps lose control, moving forward like a comical puppet.

With a simple yet striking narrative, the director captures the essence of Still Ahead: a life phase suspended between yearning and uncertainty, restless and unfulfilled.
