FROM MYSELF & TO MYSELF
Examine the rules of life yesterday;
Seek the meaning of sinking in the rising times;
I am that I am, yet I am not what I am;
I am the meaning.Throughthe lens of four literary works,
We framed four dreams of nothingness.
In the noisy urban space,
We try to crack open a path to contemplation, examination and decluttering your mind,
And take you on a gentle journey to your inner self.
/A mini immersive performance with layers of sensory experience/
As the space begins to simulate your dream,
You also enter the dream of the other.
In the gap between the city and the dream, we create a narrative space named The Maximum.
What will you see through the mix of light and shadow in the space?
/From poems and proses, we bring together the contrasting pictures between individual and time/
Lilacs out of the dead land in April from Eliot's The Waste Land;
The prison of salvation in Maugham's The Razor's Edge;
The gentle confrontation burst in Haruki Murakami Kafka on the Shore;
The affectionate call of "Why not home go?" in the Book of Songs.
/A journey home from the body to the inner self/
Keep the original texture of the dancers,
While explore the possibility of collisions between textures.
No one can define how to dance;
Everyone has the possibility to dance in their own way,
And the possibility of embarking on the journey home.
/While drunk and not knowing the way back, enter a dream of The Maximum/
In the zone of nothingness between the city and the heart,
We would like to give you a gift of a unique tipsy feeling,
To open all your five senses.
Have I just dreamed of the butterfly, or has it just dreamed of me?
