Projection Design

Between Being Asleep and Awake

It is developed from the extension and development of the dance video of the 2013 World Theater Design Award work "Empty Memory". In cooperation with dancer Zhou Shuyi, through the surround view camera, several dance images in an almost surreal space are shot, connecting a journey between sleeping and waking. When the surround view lens no longer has the ability of active capture, but a comprehensive shooting record, the relationship between body and space is instantly magnified. The circular arc and the boundless horizon attemp

Strange Tales 聊斋

When wind and snow fill the sky and the fire has grown cold, relight the coals, warm the wine, and turn up the wick of the lamp. We enter these tales in the shadows of the night but hopefully emerge into daylight.

Written in China centuries ago, Pu Songling’s Strange Tales are now adapted for the stage by the acclaimed immersive theatre company Grid Iron in co-production with the Traverse Theatre.

Elemental

The Ancient Greeks saw the world comprised of four elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water (with Aristotle throwing in a fifth, Aether, for good measure) that were thought to explain the nature and complexity of all matter and to be essential to life. Times have changed. We now have atomic theory, with atoms classified into more than a hundred chemical elements. Yet echoes of the old theory reverberate to this day and scientists admit we still don’t know everything; there is still some mystery in our world. 

Opening Night

May Amnesia Never Kiss Us on the Mouth

Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth (2020– ) examines how communities bear witness to experiences of violence, loss, displacement, and forced migration through performance. Since the early 2010s, Abbas and Abou-Rahme have collected online recordings of everyday people singing and dancing in communal spaces in Iraq, Palestine, and Syria. This work brings these recordings together with new performances conceived by the artists with a dancer, and a group of musicians in Palestine.

In every window a world shimmers. From a busy street, you are invited to make an intimate connection. A new live piece between film, installation and theatre, WINDOW A WORLD asks what happens when we listen and look in.
