Masses

Masses

Led by theatre director WANG Shi-Wei, Masses is a collaborative piece with choreographer TIEN Hsiao-Tzu, sound designer LEE Tzu-Mei and light designer Helmi Fita. It responds to the incongruity of the masses with a solo dance that outlines the protestor’s complex inner psyche, unravels the loss and loneliness of the individual among the masses in social movements.
 
The smoke-formed imagery of uncertainty, the light-led excitement, coupled with the sounds-triggered tension take the audience back to their own ‘mind scenes’ in social movements. Open floor performance invites audiences to revisit their personal journey in street protests either watching from afar or immersed in close range.
 
After winning the Performing Arts Award of the 18th Taishin Arts Award, Masses is invited to present the original, but updated, daytime version at Cloud Gate Theater, along with the new evening version created for 2021 ArtQuake in Autumn.
