In the beginning of this year, at the start of the Kuo Pao Kun Festival 2012, Liu Xiaoyi together with 10 young performers devised and created a site-specific work within the creative cocoon of the Stamford Arts Centre. To bring the festival to a close, Liu will now work with 10 veteran performers in 11 - Kuo Pao Kun Devised Again.
They will draw inspiration from a wealth of Kuo's scripts, papers, speeches, ideologies and incidents in Kuo's life to create a new devised presentation. Some of the performers have worked with Kuo, or have performed one of his major works, or are influenced by his artistic ideals. Through this excavation and exploration, they aim to examine his artistic legacy and its impact on them as theatre performers in a new site-specific work in Stamford Arts Centre.
