GROUP:/

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF : Sat|10/19|16:00|19:30|60 mins Genre: Drama; New Media Location: New Space Theatre, Shanghai Theatre Academy Drawing on the worldview of Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), a Chinese classic of mythic geography and beasts, we instill contemporary, philosophical contemplations into a newly conceived story. Against the mythical backdrop is the idea of “avatar,” or modes of “alter-being,” through which we elaborate the inner journey of human beings’ coming to terms with the unknown: the birthing of life, the struggle for survival, the revelation via love, hate, and fear, and the ultimate transcendence and release with inner peace. This piece combines semi-immersive video space and multimedia to let audiences inhabit the “unknown” and experience their “alter-beings” with the dancers, as we journey into the mysteries of life.
