This piece was inspired by the experience of living in the same apartment with eight exchange students. These eight people were all from different countries. By living under the American culture,with freedom and security; they share their values of life with each other ,and the parts in them that aren’t accepted by the society.
I see the apartment as a metaphor of the sheltered container, the one that keeps people safe, but at the same time away from the world; and the people are representing the factors that are unacceptable to this society or even to themselves.
The duet-“Casual Casual Casualty” (Choreographed by 賴宇廣、黃湘庭）, is one of the distinct storylines happened in the no.216 apartment.
