The Rope Artist (’LAODAI’) [CLEAN Version]
from Mosaic of China · host Oscar Fuchs
Sometimes big themes can be tackled through the guise of performance art. In previous episodes of the Mosaic of China podcast, we have explored how drag performers can teach us to embrace our own weirdness, and how clowns can teach us to embrace our own fallibility. These stories may be specific to China, but they apply to us all. In today’s very special episode, we explore how the world of Rope Art has made its way from Japan to China. And we discover how this art form can make us think about the themes of communication, connection and consent. The episode also includes a catch-up interview with: Yang Yi from Season 01 Episode 21 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-01-episode-21-yang-yi Chapters 00:00 - Trailer & Intro 01:50 - Part 1 24:57 - Part 2 33:03 - Outro 36:39 - Catch-Up Interview Subscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at: https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-09-laodai Join the community: Instagram https://instagram.com/oscology LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchina Facebook https://facebook.com/mosaicofchina WeChat https://mosaicofchina.com/wechat
