is a live performance in four scenes based on the story of four individuals’ lives. Presented in an exhibition setting, this performance not only presents a visual component but also enhances the audience experience through sound and light engineering.Each scene tells the story of one human being’s life through the person’s pain, joy, restoration, and celebration. The celebration scene includes the final resolution of the pain that the artist experienced over the course of time. The highs and lows of the artist&#039s’ life are expressed through words as well as through a sensory experience.The scenes will take place in the three floors of the gallery and in the stage plaza. These are the four scenes: scene one, “Crying out in the Wilderness,” scene two, “Encountering Love,” scene three, “Your Restoration,” and the final scene “Celebration for Tomorrow.”These four scenes are based on distinct performance styles. Life’s highs and lows will be expressed through sound, video, scenery, and live performances. Using unconventional means to express their experiences in life, the artist will communicate what he or she felt in those experiences, in order that the audience may relate to the artist.The concept of “narrative” was drawn from Alasdair Macintyre‘s After Virtue. There are many principle of beliefs that one holds in life, many “ism”s, but there are limits to these perspectives. We often ask ourselves, why do people see matters the way that they do? Are their perspectives really applicable to our own lives? An alternative way to view life is through a narrative lens.Human beings are storytelling beings. We live our lives as narrative quests. “I can only answer the question ‘What am I to do?’ if I can answer the prior question ‘Of what story or stories do I find myself a part?’” … “For I am never able to seek for the good or exercise the virtues only qua individual.” I can make sense of the narrative of my life only by coming to terms with the stories in which I find myself. Contemporary art, by definition, is an expression of abstract concepts through various artistic means. There are barriers that keeps one from understanding certain concepts in contemporary art. This conclusion is not drawn from a particular artwork or artist, but rather agreed upon by the general audience. Maybe the complexity of contemporary art in itself is what can cause distance between the artist and the audience? This exhibition is presented in a “live performance” concept in order to overcome the barrier for the general audience to understand and experience contemporary art. Live performance was birthed through this narrative concept so that the audience can tangibly understand and experience what the artist is expressing.This barrier that exists between the general audience is not actually between the art or the artist that created it, but it can be in the complexity of the intended message that the artist tries to convey. The audience therefore can feel distant from “contemporary art.” This distance between the artist and audience can be a “space” or a platform for the artist and the audience to communicate.Can the audience relate to the artist through their performance? Is it possible for the artist to dialogue with the audience? is a live exhibition, a presentation that is a non-traditional white cube form. The scenes in themselves are narrative stories shared within the space of the performance of the artist’s experiences.The importance of understanding ‘my story’ lies in the following fact. As we ask ourselves who we are, why do we think the way we do, and how did we come to this point in our lives, we come to want to share our life experiences with others. At times, when we go through these questions, we get to see how one person’s life story closely relates to someone else. It can also become a time to confront and reflect upon ourselves. Although the experiences in each of our lives can often seem just ordinary, when they are expressed as a co…
