I am delighted to announce the world premiere of THE ETERNAL ZOO by Yen Tzu Chang!
The work is re-exploring human-animal relationships and rethinking biodiversity and balance.
On November 2nd, 2024, the innovative art-theater performance “The Eternal Zoo,” conceptualized and directed by Taiwanese media artist Yen-Tzu Chang, will premiere at 14:00 (Taiwan time), with doors opening at 13:30. A post-performance talk with Q&A will offer an opportunity to discuss the production.
The Eternal Zoo profoundly explores humanity's complex relationship with other species and recognizes biodiversity, inviting a transformation in perspective. The audience is encouraged to see the world through the animals' eyes, thus challenging any anthropocentric view of nature. In an era of rapid ecological change, this work scrutinizes humans' role in both the extinction and preservation of species. It raises urgent questions about our responsibilities as stewards of the planet.
Director Yen Tzu Chang says, “My technological art is designed to help the audience confront the difference between human imaginations of animals and real animals, hence encouraging reflection on better ways to interact with (real) animals. I use stories of iconic animals from Taiwan as a starting point to initiate dialogue and discussion with an international audience.”
