Public Assemble

Public spaces intersect and juxtapose, buildings rise and expand, leaving gaps filled with traversing streets. Pedestrian paths lead in all directions, uncertain if you’ll encounter a self-tuning traffic light or a handrail waiting to be touched. These objects, never silent, respond to everything passing by. —Festival begins, Once more construction, 'clang,' 'bang,' 'clang-bang,' sounds echoing as it climbs. People delight, imagining they hear the city's own drumbeat. But this word is too human, city is merely shaping its structure in motion, leaving traces behind. As for how this will be interpreted, the city lets everything flow through itself. 'Public Assembly' will launch an unceasing light and sound interactive performance at the site of the former Glass Factory. Over five days, actors, pedestrians, spaces, and objects might all become performers. Together, we enter the flowing city, freely exploring or encountering performances as they unfold—city and us shaping each other. Thus, in the upward stacking and the disordered crossings, people flow through the city. Type:Interactive Theatre and Exhibition Executive Producer: SZETO Roy, WANG Hao
