The Bride
Backbone Production | CCW China Season
When no-one tells us who to become, are we willing to take
responsibility for choosing? A physical theatre work where movement
carries memory and language reveals consciousness. This is not a
memorial, but a ritual of becoming. The body on stage moves through
states of mechanism, imitation, adaptation, disorientation, awareness
and choice. At the final altar, Er’er completes a long-rehearsed dance,
not in rage or collapse, but by stepping away. The cocoon does not break
into a new identity or heroic rebirth, but into an undefined body – an
open state.
