Leftover Market: the market for those that have been left behind.
This solo dance performance is inspired by the term, “剩女Shèng Nǚ”, meaning “Leftover Women”, used to classify women over twenty-seven who are still single, a notion that pervades Chinese-speaking cultures around the world.
Featuring Taiwanese Mandarin and English pop music, this performance invites audiences into an immersive and participatory space populated with so-called waste and a figure that refuses to conform. Leftover Market interrogates how we judge things to be favourable or useless, and who gets to decide.
*The August 16th performance of Leftover Market will be followed by a brief post-show Q&A.
Artist/Producer: Su PinWen 蘇品文
