2009 / video / 40mins
Artissima Art Fair and Teatro Astra (Torino, Italy) played host to the world premiere of ‘RMB City Opera’ on November 7, 2009.
RMB City Opera is an experimental theatrical play inspired by the ‘Eight Model Works’, a propaganda opera from the Chinese Cultural Revolution. On the borderline between past and future, between classic and contemporary realities, the performance explores the connections between real and virtual identities, using both physical and virtual spaces as a stage for interaction between actors and avatars.
