Doom Box
Duet danced by both Ya Shu and Alice Herzog. It is a piece with great tension and expressiveness. It is a total experience that illusrtrate perfectly the resaerch of ZhouXin for sensation, thrill and strangeness.
Process to Doom Box
-
Doom Box unravels as a collection of aesthetic events occurring together. This is a work that does not require a reason to exist or to express itself. Shu Ya and Alice both agreed on the need to place aesthetics and sensation at the center of the piece.
And so the piece begins: by the sounds of the dancers' breath, there is a smell of perfume in the air and ambient music. All escalates into very physical, carnal, and theatrically raw expression. Shu Ya successfully worked on creating “thrill” and made it the subject and the engine of Doom Box.
-
ZhouXin finds as a ‘fil rouge’ a necessity into the crossing of arts. Doom Box, as other pieces, exhibits costumes and sculptures. There is value to the mark of handcrafts on stage, like another way to express movement in a stiller form. As well as one more expression is space.
Working with Shu Ya is sometimes working with a director and many collaborators, or with a multi talented artist able to create music, image, costumes, set design etc… Making an extremely flexible work that adapts to many situations of traditional theatre or unusual spaces equally.
