A catwalk stands in the middle of the room. A young man with blond hair and fashionable clothes turns it into his stage, flirts with the audience, hands out little hearts, soon accompanied by three other dancers with a cool attitude. To hip-hop, dance and pop music, they walk through current Chinese fashion trends. The shrill look and sound of the young Chinese generation has its origins in the visual culture that has been spilling over from Japan to China since the 1980s. The feeling of collective alienation plays an important role in this. Are the dancers extravagant individualists or puppets of a rigid system? Do they dance their own dance of liberation or are they trapped in minimalist movements? Yang Zhen's piece interweaves body adornment and an intimate search for identity and takes a critical look at consumption in order to explore the "effects" of post-globalization on the human body. In reference to Jean Baudrillard's book The Consumer Society , he explores "the resonance between things and the body".
