2004 - ' Drunken Life, Dreaming Death ' , Arena Festival Germany
“Drunken Life Dreaming Death” is the fourth performance of Song’s company. It is visually poetic theatre; the semi-biographic aspect in the piece translate to universal themes, The performance is devised using; daily life images; movement; gestural images; and interoersonal conflicts to a soundtrack of international music, unfold like a dream, comic, erotic, and disturbing as its rather bemused hero confronts the inhabitants of the subconscious.
Drunken Life, Dreaming Death crosses the style of dance theatre with physical theatre using images of oriental theatre such as slow motion sequences and tableaux filled with inner energies. There are also some strange, kitsch elements with gestures and repetitive movements from everyday life to interlace the characterless performers. Using these theatrical forms, the show attempts to uncover human emotions and our relationships with the self and others as we hobble aimlessly through the twilight hangover.
