Synopsis:

Where did we begin?
Where do we go from here?

Look in the mirror, what do you see? Is that you in the present, from the past or the future? You smile into the mirror and your reflection smiles back, and your past and future vanishes along with it.

Last year, The Practice Lab members dug deep within their personal experiences, setting off a series of improvisation, and revisiting their existential present in the process. That was our last performance staged in our old space, Stamford Arts Centre.

This year, The Practice Lab, led by Lab Director Liu Xiaoyi, presents a collaborative work incorporating physical theatre elements. From a rigorous year-long training with devising and discussion, comes a journey to the past and into the future. Uproot is the first Lab production to be staged in The Theatre Practice's new premises.

若是从头开始我究竟从何而来？

若是到此一游我究竟往哪里去？

你从镜子里看到自己，看到的是现在的自己，还是过去的自己，或者将来的自己？你对镜子里的自己微微一笑，镜子里的自己对你也微微一笑，同时完成了对过去的谅解和对未来的告别。

去年，实践实验室的成员们从自身的经验出发，进行一系列的即兴创作，重新认识当下的自我与存在。那是我们在史丹福艺术中心的最后一部演出。

今年，在实验室总监刘晓义的带领下、成员们将再度以集体即兴的创作方式，以肢体剧场的表现方式完成作品。经过一年的训练，通过反复地创作、讨论、整理，成员们将进行一次叩问过去和未来的旅程。《到此一游》将是实践实验室第一次以实践剧场新空间作为表演场地。
