Festival Off Avignon, France

Performance period:
3–21 July 2024

Chen Shu-Ching’s Role

Chen Shu-Ching’s character undergoes a series of transformations throughout the performance:

Ink → Written Characters → Shadow → Ink and Shadow

Her body becomes a medium for “writing” Chinese calligraphy through movement.​

2026｜Rêves échangés à l’ombre du vent

Festival Off Avignon, France

Venue: Théâtre ISLE 80, Avignon
Performance period: 4–25 July 2026

Performers：
Sun Li-Tsuei
Chen Shu-Ching

Director / Choreographer：Sun Li-Tsuei

The work combinesContemporary Dance × Physical Theatre × Visual Theatre × Traditional Chinese Arts

The performance explores the relationship between wind, dreams, shadows, breath and existence through an extremely minimalist stage language.

A long roll of paper becomes a projection surface, a screen for shadows and a living material. A swing introduces suspended movement and oscillation, while deep metallic sounds create an almost ritualistic atmosphere.

Chen Shu-Ching plays a central role in the work as the embodiment of the wind.

Her movement gradually transforms the relationship between the human body, space, light, shadow and breath. The choreography is characterized by extreme slowness and precision, with movements of the hands and wrists recalling the gestures of Chinese calligraphy.

French theatre critic Ruth Martinez described Chen Shu-Ching as:

“Chen Shu-Ching, incarnation du vent.”
“Chen Shu-Ching, the embodiment of the wind.”

The review particularly praised the physical precision of the performers and observed that even breath itself becomes part of the stage writing.

The performance ultimately invites audiences to slow down, experience an unfamiliar sense of time and enter a poetic and contemplative space where:

“La respiration devient danse.”
“Breath becomes dance.”

陳淑卿參與上 默劇作品《明月如昔》赴法國亞維儂藝術節（Festival Off Avignon）演出

演出期間：2024年7月3日至21日 2:45PM 共演出17場。

作品概念：描述一位書法女子，因為對自己所寫的字感到不滿而陷入煩悶。她抬頭望向月亮，希望藉由月光平復內心的情緒，並逐漸與月亮展開一段介於現實與想像之間的故事。

陳淑卿的角色：在作品中並非單純扮演一個人物，而是經歷多重的身體轉化：墨汁 → 文字 → 影子 → 墨汁與影子的綜合體，而「影子」則具有完全不同的特質——無聲、無形，安靜地跟隨在書法女子身後。最終，角色融合成一個既是墨汁、也是影子的身體：既流動，又安靜。

這個角色充分體現陳淑卿對「身體如何成為文字」以及「文字如何重新成為身體」的探索。

“Chen Shu-Ching, incarnation du vent.”

評論將作品定位為介於舞蹈、視覺劇場與冥想之間的創作，並特別讚賞舞者以手、腕與呼吸所形成的細膩身體語彙，認為動作如同書法運筆，而「呼吸本身成為舞台書寫的一部分」。

作品最終以：La respiration devient danse.—「呼吸成為舞蹈。」作為核心的藝術意象。
