An extraordinary festival of performance design, including exhibitions, performances
and diverse events,attracted over 15,000 visitors from 71 countries.
Inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon. Devised by the award-winning visual artist and theatre director Zi Ling and the Company, "Dry Room" is an intense and captivating physical exploration of childhood trauma and love’s gruesome side. Through a dreamlike and fragmented narrative, "Dry Room" draws out dark emotions in Bacon’s work in eleven scenes of intimate love, distorted desires, jealousy and violent passions. The show gives an intriguing cinematic perspective to a dance piece, by using lighting, live music, and conceptual art. The performance was originally premiered at a prestigious West End venue, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, as "Normal Love", and was well-received by the audience and critics. It has been since renamed and further developed by a brand new cast. The new show features designs by Zi Ling and Fashion Designer/Scenographer Tong Zhao (London/Paris Fashion Weeks) and emerging Lighting Designer Ali Hunter.
