Swing Space Resident Ex.Pgirl Performs Paris Syndrome at New York City College of Technology
From their announcement:
A humorous and magical landscape of cross-cultural interactions, misunderstandings, and revelations is at the heart of “Ex.Pgirl’s Paris Syndrome,” a dance theatre piece that will be performed as a work-in-progress at New York City College of Technology.
The show is a dance theater piece about a Japanese phenomenon that occurs when tourists visit Paris and experience a psychological meltdown because Paris, the “City of Love,” does not match their idealized expectations of beauty. The only permanent cure is to go back to Japan — and never return to Paris.
Through language games, spoken scenes, dance and video interviews, a multicultural ensemble of female performers will explore the themes of madness, ideals and cultural misunderstanding.
