The China Project is the central performance of the Lounge-Set and has been developed by Liquid Loft and Jin Xing Dance Theatre at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center. The performance reconstructs sets of various zones of transgression, crossing frontiers of communication conflicts and their encoding. Gender roles, societal rules, the design of life and its surfaces become evident on the body. A very personal story, the design of being of Jin Xing: former colonel in the Chinese military, decorated as best dancer in China, successful choreographer, film actress and singer... Her transition from man to woman has brought forth the underlying, essential image of beauty, permeating society's surface.

A copy/paste procedure presents dancers in an incessantly novel context and various constellations. It exhibits roles we take on and modify daily, as well as the lifedesign we continuously create ourselves. And it challenges codes in art, fashion and lifestyle in a very personal way.
