| Video essay & movement

Chinese & English | New Original Works Festival, REDCAT | November 2020

Directed by Xiaoyue Zhang
Performed by Jiayu Zhang, Yue Zhu, Lydia Li, Xiaoyue Zhang

Little Red Book, or Plural Body is an experiment of bodies in performative spaces to look carefully at the interactions in which individual bodies, collective identity, and ideology are connected within the cultural space of China and beyond. Focusing on the practices and disciplines that Chinese bodies assimilate in the process of socialization, modernization and globalization, Xiaoyue Zhang and her onstage collaborators explore the political and cultural pressures and conflicts within their bodies, and how they, as artists and movers, take them in, rebel against them, and move forward with them.
