Physical Theatre
Enduring Love - 2010
Using a variety of Physical Theatre influences, we went to UCCA - 798 Art gallery and used that as a stimulus for a perfromance that we perfromed back in UCCA and at the APAC festival at WAB.
Inspired by a visit to the UCCA gallery in Beijing’s 798's art district, the Physical Theatre performance explores the enduring love between humans and their environment. The performance starts in the "primordial soup" changing into the world that lives and breathes. Trees are the first influence that the humans identify and experience - the joy and wonder. Soon this evolves into tools and machines which become the focus of human attention. It eventually becomes their focus and love which then threatens to destroy the environment. But life changes once again with the humans returning to the first love - the environment. And the full cycle of enduring love is complete.
