This theater itself becomes performance, an interchange of illusion and reality within the realm of the performing arts, prompting contemplation on the nuanced relationship between the two.
Inspired by manmade landscape in Los Angeles, we start with a plant-filled celebration, discovering how elements like water, mist, light (including sunlight and purple light for plant growth), and sound create a lively atmosphere. Our investigation unfolds through videos, revealing sharp material contrasts. These contrasts inspire the design of our 'party' objects, merging nature and artifice for a dynamic experience.
