The Landscape of the Other Shore
Shenzhen University School of Arts 201 Theatre Company (China)
God created mankind in seven days, but twelve children drifting at sea
take the same seven to become murderers. Inspired by Géricault’s
painting and Georg Kaiser’s play The Raft of the Medusa, this
contemporary re-telling unfolds through image-based vignettes – a
chimpanzee with painted nails, an ignored petition, a missing doll. Who
are the figures on the raft? When we look again, do we see ourselves
reflected? Alienation doesn’t knock – it drifts in. And by the time we
feel the tide, we are already far from the shore. Performed in Mandarin.
