Podcast 54: "FOUR FOUR EIGHT" by Emergency Stairs | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia ArtsEquator Viewpoints Crispian Chan March 27, 2019 Duration: 41 min As part of ArtsEquator’s Critics Reading Group programme, we got together three arts writers – Corrie Tan, Jocelyn Chng and Loo Zihan – to discuss FOUR FOUR EIGHT by Emergency Stairs . Corrie, Jocelyn and Zihan’s conversation sets the work within the context of Liu Xiaoyi’s experimental oeuvre, and reveals their personal, unique encounters with FOUR FOUR EIGHT, reflecting on what happens when a performance calls its audience to solitude, introspection, and intimacy. FOUR FOUR EIGHT by Emergency Stairs took place at Esplanade Theatres on the Bay as part of the Huayi – Chinese Festival of Arts 华艺节 2019 from 19 – 23 February 2019, with each performance spanning a duration of about five and a half hours each day from 6pm – 11.30pm.
