SOUL LEAVES HER BODY was an integrated-media performance synthesizing theater, dance, live video, music, and cinema. Inspired by a thirteenth-century Chinese story about a young woman who rips her soul from her body to pursue her destiny in the city, this original, contemporary work explores the soul-body relationship in today’s networked, electronic culture. A multi-channel film is created live onstage as lush cinematic visuals appear on ghostly panels, reshaping and obscuring the glass stage.
