Food begins to rot, iron begins to rust and the rose begins to wither.
But the bee is still desperately sucking it…
What the bee is sucking from the flower is nonetheless poisonous.
The bee knows it, for the poison is bitter.
Everything has a shelf life. It will be abandoned or disposed of once it has expired. Does a shelf life exist for the relationship between individuals?
The Macao debut of Shelf Life was staged in 2014 before it was presented again in partnership with renowned Hong Kong visual artist Justin Chow. The work presents emotional entanglement expressed through partner dance using different movement dynamics as well as the subtly complicated relationship between non-linear but connected narratives. The work fuses a variety of visual arts and installations, presenting them on stage by extracting them from the background, by intervening in or breaking away from the dance. Hence viewers can trace the mutual relationship and history between the two. This innovative viewing experience finds a new expression in dance theatre.
Duration: approximately 1 hour, no interval
The Post-show Sharing Session is on 30 April, 2016.
