With dancing steps, following footprints left by a panda, we will venture into the culture and history of distant China.
We will understand how, for the Chinese thought, all the elements of nature are in relation to each other in a circular. This is 'the theory of the five elements (WU XING), one of the fundamental concepts of Eastern philosophy. According to this theory each element transforms and generates the following ones: wood-fire-earth-metal-water.
The "five elements" outline a virtual path in which the audience is really involved thanks to the interactive set that allows images and sounds to react simultaneously with the actions of the spectators, providing a suggestive opportunity of playing that will make the theatrical experience unique.
"China represents an incredible resource for European artists, especially those who are able to share experiences and practices… For TPO, the main task with Panda’s Home is to fill the gap between the young audience, the contemporary world and Chinese traditions."
