Lives and memories intertwine in Yanghua's farewell performances of A Dream Like a Dream.

This is the second part of Yanghua's two-part production. A young doctor, shaken by the deaths of four patients on the first day at work, listens to the remaining patient's life story. Patient No. 5's memories unfold into the story of Gu Xianglan, carrying the audience between Taipei, Shanghai and France in a journey through love, loss and the search for meaning.
