Originated from Gertrude Stein’s notion of ‘landscape theatre’ in which visual, non-narrative and state of mind were highlighted in theatre poetics, this work is inspired by the writer’s lesser-known play Objects Lie on A Table. Simulated by objects that lay on a table, the setting progresses from still lifes to sceneries and cinematic constructions. From there, the journey will go forth to a boundless realm of rethinking painting, moving images, projection, stage, theatre and so on. This theatrical piece is premiered by two visual artists, in collaboration with celebrated choreographer Dick Wong who disputes the nature of dance; the idiosyncratic crossover is going to testify to an alternative state of performance. Also joined by internationally renowned composer and sound artist Mark Fell, together with prolific lighting designer Gabriel Fung, such trailblazing caravan looks forward to welcoming the audience into an unparallel multi-sensory melting pot.

《躺在桌上的對象》源自對 Gertrude Stein 提出有關「風景劇場」(landscape theatre) 以及她創作的同名劇本的觸動：視覺的、非敘事式、意狀的。創作從桌上的對像出發，以物象、景象與影像去構作，引發對於繪畫、影像、投映，以至舞台/劇場等不同創作框架的思考。

兩位視覺藝術家初次踏進劇場，邀請了編舞家黃大徽參與創作演出，離開舞蹈的探問，探索另一種的表演狀態。團隊還有越洋參與聲境及音樂創作的著名作曲及聲音藝術家Mark Fell，以及燈光設計師馮國基以光去形塑不同意狀的視覺經驗。
