Summary
"Ping Chong's four-part masterwork"--About the play.
"Deshima is a prismatic exploration of East-West contact from the arrival of Dutch traders in Japan in the 16th Century to the height of the Japanese "bubble" economy in the late 1980's. Deshima is composed of a series of intersecting aural, visual and choreographic events inspired by historical incidents and archival documents in the often bloody legacy of contact between Europe, America, Japan and Asia. Deshima included spoken and projected text, European, Asian, American and contemporary dance, recorded sound and projections. Deshima marked a major departure for Ping Chong from allegory to poetic documentary"--pingchong.org.
