Jennifer Lee Tsai: Fallen Star
The first film in the gallery as part of our new season, But Does It Speak?, will be Fallen Star, written and narrated by Jennifer Lee Tsai, who is currently in residence at the Bluecoat as part of the Wittenham Bursary. Fallen Star is a tender film about connecting and holding ancestral bodies. Originally commissioned and directed by Tmesis Theatre, as part of a collaborative project entitled ‘Lone Women’ with First Take, the film combines Lee Tsai’s poetry with dance performed by Pei Yee Tong and music by Meike Holzmann. This combination of choreography and poetry creates moments in which the spoken word seems to compel the performer to move, and in turn, the performance seems to amplify and draw out Lee Tsai’s words.
Fallen Star, written and read by Jennifer Lee Tsai. Performed by Pei Yee Tong. Directed by Elinor Randle. Composer Meike Holzmann. Filmed & edited by First Take
