我們終於能夠與我們的朋友,香港設計師YC楊展合作了!他用了一個怪異的電影作為靈感設計了這一場時裝表演。這是一個我們不太熟悉的風格,他向我們介紹了這個日本導演Shije Terayama。無論如何那天我們將PMQ反轉了:那個細小的房間中我們阻擋了所有光源,令視覺上的一切都是強烈的顏色和黑暗的互相糾纏。包括一個Shibari表演也是在這令人不安的黑暗中發生的。當中似乎有個「話事人」,所以人都要跟隨他的指示。但「話事人」後面還有一個「話事人」…當中12個模特兒有的被人騷擾著、有的裸體。房中很侷促,應該是個人人都想離開的地方但觀眾卻不停地進入了解這看來變態的表演(還有人帶小朋友…)。這就是我們最想看到的畫面,震驚著來PMQ的你,開放的去欣賞我們的創意。
Yes we were finally able to collaborate with our friend and HK designer, Yeung Chin. And what a collaboration it was! A short, bizarre movie was the inspiration behind the show. YC introduced me to a Japanese director, Shije Terayama, who’s work I was not familiar with. It was a surreal piece, at turns erotic, and just plain bugged out. Visually it was heavily color gelled, and we took those 2 pieces as starting points. Well 3, surreal, erotic, and colorful. What manifested was a performance piece the likes of which PMQ had never seen! It included wild characters, and a Shibari performance, all in a dark, yet colorful room that barely fit the performers! It was hot, crammed, and a challenge for the audience. Just the way we wanted it! Really enjoyed the fact that fashion stereotypes were challenged. Specifically body forms and traditional concepts of beauty. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to see an audience from all walks of life, nationality, and age, be open-minded and appreciative of the piece! Onwards and upwards YC!
