Invisible无形 is a poem of movement within a powerful and visually stunning multidisciplinary landscape. This 50-minute meditative journey incorporates the magic of lasers and mylar, plunging the viewer into multiple dimensions of fragmentation of the self. This self-reflective voyage takes the viewer into a surrealistic mindset of an individual’s fight to be seen or represented as a complete being.
Invisible无形 is a solo dealing with the idea of vanishing and not belonging in the society that one lives in. Under-representation in the world of media and arts has created a sense of exclusion in the Asian diaspora. Abstractly inspired by Bruce Lee’s “Hall of Mirrors” in his film Enter the Dragon, Invisible无形 is Tony Chong’s personal response and reflection to how he continues to navigate within a systemic cultural in-existence.
Duration: 50 minutes
Advisory: Partial nudity and lasers will be used during the performance.
