RE-ORIENTATIONS
Conceived & directed by Michael WallingInformation
Overview
After the storm, the survivors attempt to build a future.
A Chinese baby is abandoned by the roadside. Two Swedish actors play out sexual dramas, both onstage and off. Former banker, Marie Lucas battles with tsunami relief in India, until an unexpected phone call shatters her world and all the characters’ lives collide across continents.
Painted on a vast pan-global canvas of locations, characters and experiences, Re-Orientations is an astonishing visual feast, exploring love, sexuality and performance in contemporary Asia. Stunning imagery collides with a powerful physical style and vivid story telling in this multi-cultural and multi-media explosion of East-meets-West.
