A box-like evening presenting a series of new sound, performance and film works around a staging of Vee Leong's theatre play Who Killed the Elephant?, which interrogates the practices and systems of a modern police state against individual feeling and memory. The project is a work in ongoing development, setting up parallel investigations of place and translation between Hong Kong and Wales. Jennie Savage (UK) and Remus (Hong Kong) will each present a short film that follows a journey through the cities of London and Hong Kong. James Tyson with Vee Leong will present ?a dialogue' performed with Rico Wu from Hong Kong that explores questions of translation, geography and story. Matt Cook is extending his recent collaborative research in Hong Kong with a sound work that will feature as part of Who Killed the Elephant? translated from Cantonese and directed by Mathilde Lopez with a cast including Valmai Jones, Rebecca Knowles, Rebecca Smith-Williams and Rico Wu.
