About In the Shadow of the Dragon

In the Shadow of the Dragon is a new work collaboration between Strange Fruit and Noreum Machi. This development is inspired by notion of ritual and ceremony as performance with specific reference to Shamanism. The hypnotic swaying of the Strange Fruit poles and the stunning score played live by Noreum Machi will open up a completely new physical performance paradigm. This project has been introduced at the Pitch New Works Now of Seoul 2012 ISPA Congress and has gained huge attention from Asia and America leading to the potential to premiere and tour the work internationally in 2013.
