Listening Comprehension – Barbershop
  • Introduction
Tickets

When is the last time that you LISTEN CAREFULLY to yourself and to the others?

 

We humans are social beings and there are often complicated social explanations behind all our behaviours, far beyond our perception. It all begins at a men’s barbershop at Nanhai E-COOL community.

How would we get to know each other, respect each other and judge each other in such a space? And would we be capable of facing ourselves in the mirror and feel our unease when we get our haircut done? It is an audio-visual experiment involving all the participants on site, and also an environmental theatre which is deeply rooted in Shenzhen and intertwined with the community. In this project, you are not passively “told” or “led” but the “narrative”, you have to “listen” and “dig” actively from the context that the artists provided.
