作品衍生自杨圆圆的正在进行中的电影长片《女人世界》,由影像装置与现场表演构成,表演于2019年9月12日-9月14日发生在上海外滩美术馆的RAM HIGHLIGHT,此次展出影像部分作品,表演者包括旧金山华埠夜总会的退役舞者余金巧(Coby Yee)与她的爱人/搭档史蒂芬·金,以及由退役舞者方美仙成立的舞蹈团体都板街舞团(Grant Avenue Follies)。作品名源于都板街舞团策划的一出晚餐剧“紫禁城夜总会的谋杀”。
The video work is from a project derived from Luka Yuanyuan Yang’s feature film Women’s World, composed with video, installation and live performance. The performance took place during September 12th – September 14th, 2019 at Rockbund Art Museum’s RAM HIGHLIGHT 2019, featuring Coby Yee, a 93-year old dance icon from San Francisco Chinatown, with her lover/dance partner Stephen King, and Grant Avenue Follie – a senior dance troupe founded by a retired nightclub dancer Cynthia Yee. The title is inspired by dinner play Murder of the Forbidden City Nightclub produced by Grant Avenue Follies.
