Live Cinema


A collaboration between a filmmaker, a traditional Taiwanese opera and folk dance performer, and an experimental noise artist weaves tales of superstition, ritual, and paranoia.

On one side of the room, experimental noise artist Jared Xu produces a live sound track as he watches the live camera feed projected on the wall next to him. On the other side of the room, in an open set, the audience can watch the cinematographer (Clara Emery) filming the performance of traditional dancer (Olive) in a single long take.
