Who Am I
For most of my life, I was known for being dependable.
I showed up.
I delivered.
I solved problems.
I kept moving.
From the outside, everything worked. From the inside, something was quietly draining. Not dramatic. Not catastrophic. Just a growing numbness —like life was happening slightly out of sync with me.
I didn’t call it burnout at first.
I used safer words: fatigue, mental fatigue, overextended, unsustainable pace.
I told myself I was just tired. Everyone is tired.
The turning point didn’t come from a crisis. It came from a conversation.
A friend confided in me that he felt numb —productive but disconnected, functional but not alive. I wanted to help him, so I did what I always did: I researched. Symptoms. Articles. Studies. Checklists.
And halfway through reading, I realized something uncomfortable and undeniable:
I wasn’t researching for him.
I was reading about myself.
For the first time, what I was experiencing had a name. And if it had a name, it meant two things:
- I wasn’t broken.
- I wasn’t alone.
That was the moment everything shifted.
“Sometimes you don’t know what you’re feeling until you feel something different”.
—Lost in Translation
I took a step back from the life I had meticulously built and gave myself permission to stop optimizing and start listening. What followed wasn’t a straight line —it was a journey.
Across countries.
Across cultures.
Across versions of myself I had set aside in the name of responsibility.
Travel slowed me down.
Creativity woke me up.
Performance brought me back into my body.
Bubbles —of all things— reminded me that joy doesn’t need to be complicated to be profound.
Somewhere between exhaustion and play, between precision and mess, I rediscovered something I had lost without noticing: myself.
ChihSang today exists for people who are still “doing fine” on the outside but know, deep down, that fine isn’t the same as alive.
My Mission
I create experiences that help people breathe again.
Not escape.
Not self-optimize.
But reconnect —to curiosity, to laughter, to presence, to each other.
Whether it’s on a corporate stage, a fringe theatre, a wedding floor, or a room full of strangers —my work invites people to loosen their grip, if only for a moment.
Because when people soften, something real happens.
What I Create
Everything I make lives at the intersection of play, reflection, and human connection.
- Live performances that blend storytelling, humor, and wonder
- Corporate shows designed to cut through fatigue and reawaken attention
- Theatre and Fringe work rooted in lived experience and honesty
- Bubble performances & celebrations where joy is the main event
- Interactive games that turn strangers into collaborators
- Meetups and online video sessions that makes members feel alive again
- Tools and apps for people navigating burnout, not denying it
Different forms.
One intention.
Why this matters
We live in a world that rewards endurance and efficiency —but rarely asks if we’re okay.
I work with:
- teams who are tired but still trying
- leaders who carry more than they show
- creatives who lost their spark
- people who forgot that play is not a luxury
My work doesn’t preach.
It invites participation.
And participation is where change begins.
Who This Is NOT For
This work may not be for you if:
- You’re looking for high-energy hype or motivational shouting
- You want a performance that avoids emotion entirely
- You believe burnout is a personal failure instead of a human response
- You’re uncomfortable with quiet moments, reflection, or vulnerability
- You want perfection instead of presence
This work is for you if:
- You value humanity as much as productivity
- You want people to leave feeling better, not just entertained
- You believe laughter and softness can coexist with strength
- You’re open to experiences that unfold, rather than perform
My Approach
I don’t perform at people.
I create with them.
Curiosity over perfection.
Presence over polish.
Connection over control.
Sometimes that looks like laughter.
Sometimes silence.
Sometimes a bubble floating through a room reminding everyone to look up.
About the Name
ChihSang is my given name.
For years, I hide t, softened it, or explained it away.
Claiming it now is part of the work.
This is not a brand I invented.
It’s an identity I returned to.
If You’re Here
You’re probably looking for:
- a performance that feels human
- an experience that cuts through burnout
- something memorable that isn’t hollow
- or a collaborator who understands both structure and soul
I don’t sell perfection.
I don’t sell hustle.
I sell permission —to pause, to laugh, to feel, to reconnect.
Because burnout didn’t just give my life context.
It gave it direction.
And if you’ve found your way here, maybe you’re already standing at your own origin point too.
