Videotable’ is a conceptual piece based on a table, which is a recurring theme and motif in Danny Yung’s theatre pieces. A series of questions asking where “the center” is loosely points towards power structures both in the political world and the art world.

「桌子」是榮念曾劇場作品的常見主題,本片即是以桌為中心的概念作品。世界地圖與中國地圖順時與逆時的加速旋轉,雙手掌心維持原位,獨白反覆詰問是否中心/忠心,該轉左還是轉右。一系列辯證音像,隱然指涉政治世界和藝術世界的權力架構。
