Jin Xing is a prize-winning dancer and owner of Beijing's hottest nightclub. But it is as China's first high profile trans-sexual (she was formerly a male colonel in the People's Liberation Army) that she has really achieved fame and, more remarkably, been able to speak openly about her sexuality. House Arrest is a collaboration with Hong Kong born Edwin Lung, an ingenious choreographer whose work synthesises dance, text, image and multi-media. As the title implies, the piece explores issues of cultural, personal and political isolation. It is set in a specially created bamboo and metal installation, evoking the bamboo theatre of traditional Chinese touring plays.
