Don't miss this opportunity to see a performance of Xu Zhen's Just in a Blink of an Eye. Suspended in mid motion the performers appear to be frozen in time, captured as if they are collapsing to the ground. This unique performance has been described as 'exhilarating, as if the viewer has been liberated from the constraints of time and physics.'
