In a dim room, a forbidden zone, of steam and mist, blurred male figures lurk, in states of desire and solitude, held between dreaming and waking. You gaze longingly at him; you are gazed at by someone else. How did you enter here and where can you exit?
New media theatre director, Chou Tung-Yen, obsessed with light/shadow and the ambivalence between real/virtual, opens the shutter for us to experience gay sauna subculture through the intimate and immersive - yet safe - lens of virtual reality.
A special ‘Expanded VR’ commission, Gazing, In the Mist is staged as an immersive site installation at the new Taipei Performing Arts Center.Fluid yet dense, the ‘mist’ that enshrouds also invites spectators with courage and distance - to behold desire, to temper desire, to enact desire - to speak to lust: a love without love.
Very Theatre
Founded by Chou Tung-Yen, Very Theatre has been focusing on envisioning new ways of seeing and experiencing performance through the use of new media. Aside from producing live performances as its core practice, the company’s unbridled creativity has prompted the team to create various works in the form of video art, VR, and installation. Their latest VR film In the Mist was selected for the Venice International Film Festival, and won the PANORAMA VR PRIZE at Montréal’s Festival du Nouveau Cinéma.
