Actors start rehearsing for the upcoming RMB City event at Italian exhibition ‘Artissima 16’: here’s what Cao Fei wrote on her blog:

As part of Italian project ‘Artissima16’ for the ‘Blinding the Ears’ theatre section, Arthub invited me under the “People’s City” project to create a drama.

CBD, we rented a small community 20-storey apartment as a rehearsal space, the window is very close to the CCTV ‘accident area’, which then becomes our background “stage”, which feels very psychedelic.

due to the relationship bewteen the actors and the small space, it looked as if we were having a mini drama, as if we were in a movie.

Get rid of the conventional stage, in rehearsal rooms the play becomes a day-to-day integration of furniture and a real life drama.
