This work, Kids, was inspired by choreographer LIU Kuan-Hsiang's sorrowful memory and evolved around the sound recordings LIU made with his mother, who suffered from terminal cancer and was being looked after by LIU in the hospice unit. In the performance, LIU and two other dancers, LIN Yu-Ju and CHIEN Ching-Ying, alternated between the roles of Mother, Son, Death, and a symbolic figure of death and illness. With their unique postures, rhythm, and physical interpretation, they interwove a passageway that bridged life and death. From performing the emotion and grief of an individual, the work became an interpretation that addressed our collective fear or sorrow at the time of bidding farewell to our loved ones forever. The performance progressed with what the sound recordings unfolded to the audience without any reservation, from the mother-and-son conversations, to their memories or family anecdotes, such as things like "the first time I took you to see a movie" and "the first time I beat you," to the mother's hallucinations and sleep-talking during the final stage of her illness when she was almost completely blind. Without being overemotional, the affectionate journey brought the audience back to the moments of maternal love and to relive the experience of growing up.
《我知道的太多了》以編舞家劉冠詳於安寧病房照顧癌末母親時，錄下種種聲音素材為發展線索，將傷痛記憶打造成舞蹈創作。劉冠詳、林祐如(黃郁元/許彤）、簡晶瀅（余宛倫）三位舞者輪流飾演母親、人子、死神或死亡、病痛的隱喻，在台上以獨特姿勢、律動及身體質感，建立一條通往生與死的連結管道。演出從「小我」情感創傷出發，關懷「大我」面對生離死別的惶恐或傷痛；演出全程配合錄音內容如「我第一次帶你看電影」、「我第一次打你」病榻前親密母子對話、生命回憶或家族故事，直至最終母親因病幾近全盲的幻覺夢囈，毫無隱藏全然傾瀉給觀眾，深情卻不濫情，帶觀眾一起進行一場重回子宮、再次長大的時空歷程。
