墜落如羽

這是集體的個人演出，探索政治性或詩意之間的界線：

在演出前的工作坊中，我以英國前首相戴卓爾夫人於1982年9月24日在北京人文大會堂前跌倒的事件為引旨，討論宿命與暗示，個人的掌控與跌倒或失敗的經驗的三部分的關聯。在街上我們把背景抽空，逐格重演跌倒的情境，旁白為參與者對這次演出的傳譯。

Fall Down

This short film depicts a series of group/individual performances, which bridge a fine line between politics and the poetic.

In preparatory workshops before filming, the example of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is given to the performers. Her fall on a staircase in front of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on 24 September 1982 is associated as an example of fate versus self-control and as a personal experience of failure and as a 'fall down' in public status. This trilogy of interpretations is narrated in the film by the individual performers; whilst on the street they collectively fall to the ground.
