歸屬 Gui Shu

Come on a contemplative journey through the streets, suburbs and open spaces of Taipei and Perth in Steamworks Arts’ latest production, 歸屬 Gui Shu (Belong). 

Devised by an extraordinary collective of independent artists, each performance fuses dance, music, sound and video projection live on stage to create a visceral reflection on moments of isolation, connection and finding your way. The result of an extended exchange across cultures and artforms, 歸屬 Gui Shu asks how our understanding of self and home are shaped by our experiences with others.

Described by audiences and reviewers as beautiful, haunting, elemental & hypnotic, the performance immerses the viewer in an experience both recognisable and other-worldly, either up close or from a distance.

Produced by Performing Lines WA, commissioned by the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.

It was a truly beautiful and well thought out work. It seamlessly took me to different places while resonating with a sense of belonging; both within their environment but also as a group. I thought the projection and props definitely lifted the work and really made it wholistic in its integrity.”

Video Installation

Complementary to the performance, 歸屬 Gui Shu features a panoramic video installation with accompanying music score as an introduction to the collaborators and their contexts.

I thought it was a very poetic meditation on global connection/disconnection. The use of the performers’ bodies to convey this theme was beautiful and compelling.”
