During a residency in Rome, performing artist Anna Kubelík and Tarik Goetzke joined hands to create "Me + Rome", a work that explores the founding myth of Rome. Following the successful cooperation in Rome, the two have been researching into history and myths related to Beijing during their three-month residency here. Based on the story of the eight-armed deity Nezha, they develop an immersive audio-visual performance "Me + Beijing." The project is fully funded by Goethe-Institut (China).
The show will last 12 minutes per round and for each round, 12 participants are invited to join. Receiving the voice recordings from the headphones, participants will be able to experience the show from the perspective of one of the protagonists in the saga.
