Asia meets Europe, fashion meets performance, vogueing meets karaoke. What would be a better place for this clash than a stage that turns into a club, that hosts an installation? Chinese visual artist Tianzhuo Chen combines quotations from global club cultures, corporate identities, folklore, and social media to create a global snapshot between kitsch and apocalypse. The audience moves on stage through an upbeat pop spectacle, focussing on discussions about what’s Asian and what’s European, where the East imagines what the West is like and vice versa.
