Original Crossover Stageworks - Idyllic Lives Oct. 22-23 19:30 Venue Shanghai International Dance Center Experimental Theater
A subversive work that defies all logic and upends your cognition where stage performers use their body languages to the full to construct the absurd theme of ldyllic Lives. By playing contemporary art crossovers, where spatial installations dance to live improvisational music performances, and through stage performers' full-on exploration of improvisational body languages and body vibes, the work takes a brand new approach and interprets the "ldyllic Lives" in the eyes of contemporary folks, and re-deconstructs the "Poetic Philosophy" as in Jiangnan Culture, manifesting different concepts of different people and social struc-tures, and bringing the audience a mind-blowingly magnificent body show unveiling relationships between different characters.
