Infected Dreams – Immersion here now
This special event “Infected Dreams – Immersion here now”, directed by artist TING Chaong-Wen, the performance by Peking Opera actress HSU Li-Ying, with sound design by theatre composer HSU Chia-Ming. Through the performance, the artist further explores and extends the process of how “symbols are manipulated to experience change” in cross-media narratives, as well as the relationship between specific cultural contexts and their expanded materials. The narrative “ritual” of interwoven stories is presented to reflect on themes such as technology, identity politics, and the death of nature. By using the body as a medium, the performance disrupts imperceptible interactions, reconnecting us to the network that we have already coexisted with in all things.
