Theatre

In this sphere of defences and offences,
theatre is the longitude, sports is the latitude

The competition of life never ends, nor does the tension that grips us…

1:0 portrays the life of some ordinary people, and metonymizes real situations in sports. The two, situations in life and situations in sports, are texts contrasting with each other. They include a player who yearns for promotion but never reaches first base, a frustrated man who cannot throw a good pitch in love, a low-level employee who is maliciously fouled but dares not say a word, a basketball player who wins the game but loses a friendship, a coach/boss who only talks and finds trouble, a couple always quarrelling about strategy. In the meantime, sport scenes such as basketball, baseball, table tennis, swimming, track, and so on are shown one after the other. The play illustrates the philosophical imagery that a sports field is like a battlefield in life by constantly advancing the sports scenes and situations.
