We are happy to invite you to the performance of „Wen Keng We Meet? – On Connection“ by RRRRRR Collective on Friday, January 30 at 8pm Gessnerallee in Zurich.
Following the desire to see each other again, the Taiwan-based artist Wen-Chi and her mainland Chinese colleague Keng, together with their European collaborators of the RRRRRR Collective, travel to the border that separates them. At its narrowest point, between Xiamen and the island of Kinmen, the distance is just six kilometers. They have three days for this undertaking. Then they must leave again. Will they succeed in meeting one another?
The result is an audio-visual performance situated between documentary theatre and a fictional search into the human need for encounter: a poetic snapshot of a fragmented yet inescapably connected world.
The RRRRRR Collective consists of @kengkengchen (artist and performer, Shanghai), @liu_wenchi_.art (artist and writer, Taipei), Dino Radoncic @sleepyraja (artist, St. Gallen), Nathalie Stirnimann and Stefan Stojanovic @stirnimann_stojanovic (artist duo, Zurich), and @eneas_prawdzic (theatre-maker, Zurich).
