This Room is an Island

In Culture

This Room is an Island is a fully interactive, inhabitable world retold by a displaced daughter in another home.

Through dance and digital innovation, Yin-Chi Lee and collaborators create a multimedia experience: a space-within-space built by two generations’ memories of belonging and not belonging to the same world(s). The audience are guided through by performers to become an integral part of the narrative and the visual world.

Born amidst the threats of war, This Room is an Island is a living memory held together by both fear and love. It is the enduring mistakes of the past that echo into our future. It’s an invitation to reflect on our own histories and to re-discover our places in the ever-evolving landscape of human experience.

This piece involves audience interaction and participation. You can purchase tickets to observe as a seated audience member with no interaction, or choose to experience the work from within. Should you require assistance during the performance, our safety staff are present to discreetly guide you out and back in at your convenience.
