The House Behind The Wall
Venue
Wang Da Hong House Theatre
Jury’s Comments for the Grand Prize Winner
If buildings are the medium for physical representations of abstract emotions, then dance theater performances can be said to be an abstraction of concrete objects through the movements of the body. The House Behind The Wall is a transformation of snippets of the life of architect Wang Da Hong into dance movements. During the performance, the dancer ascends high walls, moves freely in the compound, and live in the present time and space. The performance is presented in phases, each one being calibrated to the spatial dimensions in which it takes place. The audience follows the dancer through the three phases of outdoor, theatrical, and immersive performances, and these different areas of performance and viewing enable both the dancer and the audience to jointly respond to the architectural characteristics of the space itself.
