Das China Projekt is the central performance of the lounge-set and has been developed by Liquid Loft and Jin Xing Dance Theatre, at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center.

The performance reconstructs sets of various zones of transgression, crossing frontiers of communication conflicts and their encoding. Gender roles, societal rules, the design of life and its surfaces become evident on the body.


Jin Xing, choreographer and fascinating character of China's art scene, guides us through this evening and expands Liquid Loft's hybrid world of art by her presence and her stories - the design of being of Jin Xing: former colonel in the Chinese military, decorated as best dancer in China, successful choreographer, film actress and singer. Her transition from man to woman has brought forth the underlying, essential image of beauty, permeating society's surface.

A copy/paste procedure presents the dancers in an incessantly novel context and various constellations. The performance thus exhibits roles we take on and modify daily, as well as the design of life we continuously create ourselves and challenges codes in design, art, fashion and lifestyle.
