From the previous performance held inside the compartment built in the “black box” to this performance held outside of the compartment installed in the “white cube”, the performers harken to their own performing state, spatial construction, perspectives of viewing, and interaction with the audience, in relation to these two very distinct kinds of sites. The performance reflects upon their personal experiences working across from theatre to gallery, unleashing a new site-referential performance.

Curator & Producer

Orlean Lai

Orlean Lai successively established orleanlaiproject and No Discipline Limited. In the role of curator and producer, she continues to initiate different forms of hybrid collaborations, inviting creative talents across disciplines to conduct cross-domain experiments together, exploring possibilities in different presentation formats, blurring the boundaries between art genres and medium.

Orlean is particularly fascinated with intermedia constructions. In her theatre productions, she likes to introduce visual artists, sound artists and music creators into the theatre, attempting to elicit works that depart from the conventional “theatre” mindset within the theatre context, thereby broadening the imagination and possibilities of the theatre. Orlean was the recipient of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship in 2016.
