美援時期，台灣特有的戰後殖民文化—崇洋高調的意識型態。一種象徵著進步假象的時代符碼，走進台灣每一個追求大蘋果夢的家庭。就像是美軍電臺播送的期待，劇中杜家智的生活充斥著當代的洋味，熱鬧的派對與異國的人際，家智的母親也沈醉在美軍俱樂部的虛浮歡樂之中。
一場美國夢。
一九七九年中美斷交，在一片錯愕憤慨的示威吶喊中，許多人從美國夢裡驚醒。家智的青春情夢，隨著麗莎的遠去他鄉而飄逝；母親無法接受現實的逆變，最後進了療養院，活在醒不過來的美國夢裡。「媽咪，妳今天覺得怎麼樣？」逐漸成為家智生命裡唯一的真實。
歡迎進入劇場共同經歷一場懷舊之旅。
During the period of American Aid, Taiwan was full of post-war colonized culture – with its ideology of admiring the West. A symbol of false progress entered every family searching for happiness. For example, people expected to hear American soldiers' radio broadcasts. In the play, the main character Jia-jhih Du's life is full of Western style – noisy parties and relationships with foreigners. His mother is immersed with joys with the vanity of the American soldiers' club.
This was an American dream.
In 1979, official diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the USA were severed. In a furious and noisy demonstration, many people awoke from the American dream. Along with Lisa's going abroad, Jia-jhih's young and romantic dream fades away. Mother cannot accept the dramatic change of reality and finally enters a mental hospital, still living in an American dream. Jia-jhih said, "Mama, how do you feel today?" This is gradually becoming his only reality in life.
Welcome to enter our theatre to experience a journey of reminiscence about the past together.
