2047 Apologue - Weaving Machine
Installation, Projection Show, Concepts
2017
In June 2017, the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing hosted the premiere of the show “2047 Apologue” by the Chinese director and visionary Zhang Yimou. The show consisted of eight performances, which were prepared by 20 international and local teams.
The Radugadesign Studio, in cooperation with WHITEvoid (Germany), the director of the London Theater of Contemporary Ballet Rose Alice, and CPG-Concept, developed a visual accompaniment for the kinetic dance performance “Weaving Machine,” the conclusion of the show. Each performance emphasized the fact that technology and humans are merged together, but nothing is eternal and technology can always leave us.
