Trap of Romance will take you on a psychological journey as you delightfully observe Ted and Jane‘s relationship dilemma. Can Ted and Jane contend with the truth while they battle against the one thing that keeps them apart? Will they keep playing their devious games to win the most coveted prize? Or give up their deceptions for what they have been searching for all their lives?
Trap of Romance invites the viewing audience to judge - is a lie a lie, or is there some grey area in between? Will dishonesty be a mechanism for control?
We all have experienced pain, rejection, and hurt from past romances. So, we compete with manipulative devices to control a relationship so that never happens again. After all, it’s easier to tell a lie than not have to deal with an all-out yelling match, endless interrogations, or getting the silent treatment.
Ted and Jane’s fear of rejection and need for control is demonstrated by their deceitful questions that are meant to trap each other through their compromising answers.
Trap of Romance presents two people who are falling in love and are challenged to surrender their vulnerabilities in order to find themselves and each other. It's a fun story that “marries" romance with the emotional rollercoaster of a dating relationship. The story weaves a web of lies told through song, dance, and combative stunts. Tango is a Dance of Passion and Human Frailty
