A collective of Chinese performers living in New York City explores “shiftbeds” through verité conversations, character-driven fictions and an integrated movement piece. A shift-bed is shared by people who are neither in the same family nor in a relationship. Inspired by theater visionaries Augusto Boal and the Wooster Group, the collective has worked for the last year on a series of performance workshops centered around such a bed – experienced, remembered, and imagined from profoundly different viewpoints. Including a 20 minute excerpt of the feature length film.

Performers: Yi Chun Cao, Yueh (Linda) Hwa Chan, Che Chang-Qing, Yun Xiu Huang, Ellen Ho, Sheut Hing Lee, Veraalba Santa Torres and Pedro Sanchez Tormes
