Tea/Time & Love is an intercultural theatre performance about tea and love. Against a backdrop of actual tea drinking by actors and audience alike, a love story unfolds between two people from different cultures, accompanied by live guqin music that draws on Eastern and Western traditions.

In a world shaped by urgency and disconnection, this multisensorial work proposes a moment of pause: to sit, to listen, to taste, to feel. Through tea, language, and sound, the performance invites audiences to reflect on how we relate to ourselves and each other.
