More About the Presentation
As an artist-duo, we, Tarik Goetzke and Anna Kubelík, invite you to our presentation at IFP.
We will present our past projects briefly, both individual works and our collaborative project, 'Me + Rome’. We will then elaborate our research interests and work-in-progress of our current project ‘Me + Beijing’.
‘Me + Beijing’ will take form in an audio-visual immersive performance. Inspiration of the performance will be drawn from Chinese ancient myths with an emphasis on genealogical context. Through this project, we aim to explore and experiment with fundamental narrative principles in Chinese literature and theatre-making tradition - potentially equivalent to the Aristotelean paradigm of the West.
Through our presentation, we would like to initiate dialogues between artists and researchers in performing arts. We would also like to get in touch with contemporary playwrights, theatre companies and art institutes in order to picture the general theatre/performance landscape in Beijing. We look forward to meeting you and get inspired.
