Joyce Beetuan Koh, sound designer Yong Rong Zhao, visual artists Sai Hua Kuan and Wang Ruobing,
and lighting designer Genevieve Peck to present this multi-disciplinary
performance at Queen Street 222 Artspace.
The performance is staged in four small adjacent gallery rooms to
present an immersive theatre experience for an intimate capacity audience (only
40 audience for each performance).
The artists play
with the ideas of change inspired by the Butterfly Effect and Chaos
Theory. They start a chain reaction in a
process that compressed sounds, lights, movement, and sights into intense
performing pockets that shift around in different gallery chambers. These fragments of dramatic narratives engage
the audience with simultaneous happenings that soon have them moving from room
to room. This free milling generates
similar dynamics as in the Chaos Theory and is unleashed within the rooms.
The performance alludes to spiraling changes of the fragile
environment caused by human callousness.
In the confine of four small chambers, we glimpse the peril of humanity
if we continue with our oblivion at present rate.
BACKGROUND
The theme of
butterfly effect is inspired by Artistic Director Angela Liong’s long time research on climate change that was initiated in
2006 with performance projects reflecting on the effect of climate change on
culture and the people.
The initial project
began in 2007 with Angela Liong leading the Arts Fission dancers together with
Indonesian performing artists to scale mountains and comb beaches in central
Java, gathering sounds and sights for their on-location cultural
expeditions. Already a 4-series
performance project entitled The Locust Wrath has just been completed in
September 2013.
Recent company
cultural expedition (Dec 2013) to the island of Bali contributes new
perspective to the fragile balance of human and nature, resulting in the
creation of this poignant performance based on the idea of the butterfly
effect.
