Weixin-Image_20241106160644.jpg

"It is dedicated to this 'stranger side' in all of us, to that uncovered color in your kaleidoscope."

Elizaveta Porodina

Following the show in Fotografiska Stockholm, Berlin and New York, Elizaveta Porodina will bring her latest exhibition 'UN/MASKED' to Shanghai, inviting Chinese audience to step into her abstract and surrealist photographs reflecting her inner world, and to experience an exploration of their own inner-self.

The artworks in the show examine the way we present ourselves to others and the many aspects of our personalities we hide away.

"It’s about the personas that we put on," Porodina explains, "and the masks and the layers that we are creating to make other people’s, or our own experiences of life, easier and more graspable for ourselves."

This is finally day to see this exhibition.

The Cherry Orchard @ Shanghai Culture Square

Poster1.jpg

The Cherry Orchard is a timeless masterpiece by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. First performed at the Moscow Art Theater in 1904, it has earned its place as one of the theater’s most treasured works.

This French adaptation of The Cherry Orchard premiered in 2021, opening the 75th Avignon Theater Festival. Directed by Tiago Rodrigues, this production stars the internationally acclaimed French actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role, Lyubov.

Huppert's performance masterfully captures both the comedic and tragic dimensions of her character, adding depth and allure to the role. Tiago Rodrigues, both the director of the play and the current director of the Avignon Theater Festival, presents a fresh perspective on Chekhov’s classic.

The play explores the themes of "change of ownership and the disappearance of the cherry orchard," reflecting the societal shifts of late 19th and early 20th century Russia. Through elegant storytelling, it examines the rise of capitalism and the decline of the aristocracy.
