Leftover Market 剩女經濟 Immersive Event - Main Image

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. Artist/Producer: Su PinWen 蘇品文 Performance Assistant: Wu YingHsuan 吳盈萱 Lighting/Technical Manager: Jessica Han 韓瑩潔
