Of Ashes and Souls is a Mandarin theatrical production set during the Zhongyuan Festival of 2024, where nine social media influencers explore a reconstructed mansion to uncover the mystery behind its collapse 25 years ago. As they weave enchanting yet deceptive tales to captivate their followers, the ghosts of the past seize their bodies to fulfill their dying wishes and reveal the true story behind their tragic demise. This play offers a timely commentary on the modern self-media landscape, blending traditional Chinese beliefs with the allure of narrative deception.
