Jasmine Fan

Room B

Taiwan / Germany

| Synopsis

BARDO, Jasmine Fan’s newest choreographic project, combines dance, film, live-stream, and choreography to create a fluid form of documentation and performance. Dancing camera movement immerses the audience in the story of the encounter of a young soul and his teacher in the transitional realm of the Tibetan Bardo, a place between heaven, hell, and rebirth. As the soul is conflicted with the choice of rebirth or dissolution to Nirvana, the fleeting subtleties of his blurred thoughts are captured with a one-shot camera, integrated seamlessly into the motion of the performers.
