Blind + Chinese Takeaway
16 May 2007
Son et Lumière: Blind
9.30pm
"Blind" speaks with lucidity and tenderness about the way our lives collide and how we form each other. This new production sees Son et Lumiere introduce their design-centric aesthetic to explore the text in a more open format: discovering in it some of the ideas buried deep beneath its sparse surface.
"'Blind' occurs in a place away from our knowledge. Here, three people encounter each other in the darkness, reaching toward something they cannot find. They can only touch the web-work of their irrationally but inextricably enmeshed lives. Amid the maelstrom of confused perception, dreams, violence and control there is a strangely beautiful oblivion." Sean McKenna (Dramaturge).
Developed at 21 Wapping Lane; site of Punchdrunk's "Faust".
Duration: 25 mins
Lorelai Lai: Chinese Takeaway
10.20pm
A cabaret style routine which starts from inside a giant Chinese takeaway container. "Lorelai Lai" bursts out of the box performing a burlesque of a chinese fan dance to the sounds of Monty Python. The piece ends with Lorelai Lai spinning, dancing and finally suspending on top of a giant golden chopstick.
Duration: 15 mins
