Actors in street play highlight green issues
In the cold haze of Christmas morning, He Yu was waving a mask and dancing in Beijing's streets, with several empty plastic bottles on a rope tied around her waist. Suddenly, Yan Sheng-in a white clown mask-came and snatched her mask, leaving her sitting on the ground in despair.
It was not a street robbery-it was performance art. The duo came from Shanghai to perform in four iconic places in Beijing-798 art zone, Dongzhimen Transportation Hub, Sanlitun Village and Guomao, the Central Business District.
"We come to Beijing because it has been heavily stricken by haze for a long time," says He, 36, who quit her job as public relations supervisor for a foreign company in Shanghai in September and started her art group Infinite Art. They mainly create mixed-media modern art theater.
