Originated from Gertrude Stein’s notion of ‘landscape theatre’ in which visual, non-narrative and state of mind were highlighted in theatre poetics, this work is inspired by the writer’s lesser-known play Objects Lie on A Table. Simulated by objects that lay on a table, the setting progresses from still lifes to sceneries and cinematic constructions. From there, the journey will go forth to a boundless realm of rethinking painting, moving images, projection, stage, theatre and so on. This theatrical piece is premiered by two visual artists, in collaboration with celebrated choreographer Dick Wong who disputes the nature of dance; the idiosyncratic crossover is going to testify to an alternative state of performance. Also joined by internationally renowned composer and sound artist Mark Fell, together with prolific lighting designer Gabriel Fung, such trailblazing caravan looks forward to welcoming the audience into an unparallel multi-sensory melting pot.
