Creative Humor Physical Theatre－Papirus

Date: Aug 23-27－7:30 pm

Venue: National Centre for the Performing Arts

Price: 160-280 yuan

How should we react to a stranger? Do we choose to become complicity or else look threateningly at the other? How to convey our own intimacies and dreams? How to overcome our fears of the past? Without any words, through gestures, shapes and painting, these two foreigners speak and establish a game full of curiosity, generosity and hope where sharing becomes a way of communication. This is a show about the magic that comes when we allow ourselves to communicate with the heart. Papirus is dedicated to all those who never stop dreaming. In the middle of nowhere, a man, walks, alone, tired, and his only companions are a large suitcase and a big piece of paper. In the middle of nowhere, a woman, weakened, looks for a place to sleep. Soon, each of them will discover the presence of the other.

Yang Yang's Multimedia Theatre Orange Love

Date: Aug 29-31－7:30 pm

Venue: National Centre for the Performing Arts

Price: 120-240 yuan

Orange Love, created by Yang Yang, has adopted a brand-new concept of theater arts called "POV" (point of view), in which the figures are projected effectively on the screen through photographer's live shooting, director's editing and relevant film skills. By means of combining skills of multiple stage arts, the story is developed via videos, sections of script, exquisite stage design and movements. Characters are dancing, whispering, fondling, and smiling in an empty room, which they once regarded as heaven. They run, kiss, embrace, make eye contact with each other and do crazy things on the street, which they once regarded as love. They met each other on the street, they believe in miracle and telepathy and they even believe that they have found their soul mates in such a vast crowd. All plots and what happens on the stage in Orange Love are unpredictable and dazzling.
