Three murders are committed in a sanatorium under the poetic name "Cherry Orchard". But the police inspector does not have to break his head for a long time in search of killers - he knows almost everything: who, when and how were killed, the killers - the only thing left to figure out are the reasons...

Florestan Mississippi, a public prosecutor by profession, visits a lady named Anastasia and, while drinking coffee with her, convicts her of poisoning her husband. At the same time, he asks for her hand in marriage, as he too has killed his wife with poison; the marriage is to be the "atonement" of the two poisoners. The four allegorical personifications in this comedy are, in addition to the loveless, absolute justice in the form of the prosecutor Mississippi, perfect equality, represented by the world revolutionary Saint-Claude, Christian love, embodied in the down-and-out, alcoholic tropical doctor Count Uebelohe-Zabernsee, and finally the "Frau Welt" of the old mystery play – Anastasia, who falls for everyone and betrays everyone, loves nothing but the moment, and dies with an invoked untruth on her lips.

A remote village has not had a previous boom for years. Residents have either been forced to migrate or are in poverty and misery, but the village has a new guest. But the village has a new guest who was born here. Twenty years have passed since her migration, he is wealthy, and the people dream that he has come to save the village from this misery.

《蝴蝶变形记》根据二十世纪著名德语作家迪伦马特的经典戏剧进行创意改编，由孟京辉音乐剧《三个橘子的爱情》原班黄金配置担纲。此次，他们将首次挑战一种“拧巴”的表演方式来诠释复仇、赎罪等世界性的庞大主题，其中漫画式的表演极具象征意义，滑稽的场面透露着庄严的气氛，轻松的言笑包含着尖刻的讽刺，这种背道而驰的距离感不仅极大地增强了戏剧的张力，还能让观众在忍俊不禁的同时看到生活的残酷真相。这绝对是一种全新的“变形”。
一座鲜美的小城，糜烂、颓唐、痛不欲生；
一列叫嚣的火车，妩媚、情色、肆无忌惮。
嘲讽与仇恨的故乡，
虚假与欲望的围城，
有人要逃跑，就有人要回归！
火红的假发，锋利的眼神，
新鲜的垃圾，性感的生活，
出卖自己、折磨别人；
升华自己、毁灭别人。
神经的、疯癫的、小心翼翼的、欲火中烧的，都想变形！
傻笑的、哭闹的、撕心裂肺的、自言自语的，都将变形！
战栗、虚伪、抖动、狂野！
蝴蝶变形，华丽归来。
看一群傻瓜如何愚弄这个世界！
