    Curious Perspective

    Creator note: By Weiwei Jin Based on the idea of a multimedia installation-performance, Kaleidoscope introduces the spectator to an audiovisual kaleidoscope where bits of sounds and images are played, cut and reflected. Having the idea of human expressions as a fundamental thought, this work captures, collects and edits different expressive elements and decontextualizes them. It is a conceptual quest for freedom of expressions. This work presents a space where sound and image intersect, where multi-layered spatial audio and visual environments communicate an experience form inside to outside and from outside to inside. The facial painting/masking process of Beijing opera was filmed and edited for multi video projection, accompanied with acousmatic music, which was created from recordings of press printing factories and the reading of texts in seven different languages. The creator expresses the direct influence that the past 6 years of her life has had in her. Learning foreign expressions, getting use to new ones, creating own ones, forgetting old ones and rethinking those already forgotten. The video part of this work was collaborated with Peruvian video artist Matias Vega Norell. Program note: On a street corner I noticed the multiplicity of simultaneous visual and audible events all going together in ones experience and producing enjoyment- John Milton Cage The first decade of the XXI is already behind us, and the advances in the field of communications – and the technology related to it – have changed the standards of human interaction. The world will never be the same again. In the verge of this media / technology / communication revolution, we take a step back to think about the core of it all: Human expressions. We, as a race, have the need of communicating. We use the spoken and written word to reach people; our faces and bodies express emotions; art is a way of transforming feeling and thoughts into movement, colour, light and sound, etc.… We are expressive individuals. However, communication can only happen within a context. Kaleidoscope is an installation where human expressions are taken out of their natural context and set together in a non-existing space to blend and become something else. The make up process of the traditional Beijing Opera; the sound of the printing room in a newspaper factory; voices talking about freedom of speech in 7 different languages; the use of colours, and the space itself become layers of expression that are to be decoded and interpreted by the spectator, probably the most important character in the place. As in every communication process it is the spectator who gives a meaning to the experience, regardless of which one it is. Welcome to Kaleidoscope. Enjoy.

    Drama “To kill or to be killed”

    Two stage drifters return, grappling with each over brilliant acting skills and attempting to uncover the mystery of the terminator. The comedy of To Kill or to be Killed tells a story about ‘executive terminators. The work was written by Huisen Pan and directed by Haoran Wang, and was once starred by the Hong Kong award-winning actor Anthony Wang and reputable film star Kwan-Ho Tse. In the play, two killers, Beiyue and Nanyue, are assigned to carry out their tasks by the ‘Division. Despite a rather political choice of the names, the play does talk about politics, but lifethe meaning of life is carefully examined during the process of killing. The roles of these two killers were created based on personal characteristics of the two actors. Huisen Pan, however, doesnt like a killer to be of a film stereotype of a cold-faced heroic figure; instead, he goes to the opposite. He takes out the legendary trait on killers and has them returned as an absolutely ordinary being. Putting aside their mysterious veils, his killers do cry and laugh like average people. In this play, the two killers are confined in the same space waiting for their targets, yet they are actually apart. The story begins with an odd setting, bringing the audience into the world of two marginalized lives. They play the game of death, embrace darkness instead of brightness and mask their fear by pretending to be brave. The process of waiting for the targets is presented in a comical and absurd way, aiming to touch upon the spiritual enlightenment that is deeply buried in human nature.
