Knowing you need novelty, we found a theater and built a park.
Welcome to "Park of Allures"—a dystopian, colorful park striving for beauty.
Within it lie Secret Garden, Isle of Growth, Phantom Path, Candy Camp, and Flying Hill.
We wish to see and be seen with you, the audience, alongside lights, particle vibrations, and other details.
 

When locking eyes with the "Allures" in the park, they may defy your expectations. You might feel dizzy, but it’s temporary.
Beware when the park turns into a wonderland—cruelty often resides in such fantasies.
Open to the public, all visitors become part of the park’s mechanism. Being part of the performance is natural here.
The body is a state of being.
This place mirrors the world, differs from the world, need not mirror the world—
it, too, is a state of being.
PS. Don't worry about explosions. If any force majeure occurs, the park will still operate normally, because everything is designed.
 
 
WORDS FORM CHOREOGRAPHER
Never been this close to the audience before—scrutiny feels more immediate, their laughter and silences feel closer too. It was WANG Shuhuan who inspired PARK OF ALLURES, and it’s you, the audience, that breathes life into it.
— SONG Xinxin
 
Born 18 years apart – a Gen-’80s and Gen-’00s woman –
we’re here to unpack: What exactly is 'allure'? Is it extinct? Or did it never exist in the first place? Just sexy babes? Us being stared at? Is it a girl thing, or literally anything people judge?
We’re talking bodies, gender, and real-life shit from our perspective. We’re building this messed-up-but-pretty rainbow park from our guts.
Will you see yourself here? From THE VISION OF YOYO to PARK OF ALLURES, we’re dancing right to your face.
Through female lenses, we examine bodies, gender and circumstance. Sorting through our psyche’s clutter, we’re building a playfully dystopian, technicolour park striving for beauty.
Can we mirror your truth? From THE VISION OF YOYO to PARK OF ALLURES, we’ll dance while holding your gaze.
— WANG Shuhuan
