Wen Wei Dance (Vancouver) Cock-Pit
choreographer: Wen Wei Wang
original score: Giorgio Magnanensi
lighting design: James Proudfoot
A highly kinetic 70-minute quintet for four men and one woman inspired by Wen Wei Wang’s memories of his student days in China at a boarding school run by the People’s Liberation Army. Four-foot long pheasant feathers extend limbs in his revealing, ravishing and entertaining work that touches on adolescent sexual awakening.
“…Wen Wei Wang is a master of imagery. His use of symbolism in dance is superb. So not surprisingly, his new work, Cock-Pit is a visual triumph.” Paula Citron, Globe and Mail, 2009
