【2022 Weiwuying Circus Platform】Antinomy Company Installations
In the past, circus groups derived the concept and need for inventing circus tents to facilitate touring circuses and adopt the dual mechanism of private ticketing. Over time, the concept and meaning of circus tents have evolved. Nevertheless, the circus remains closely related to "space, objects, and body", and such a close-knit relationship is the main goal of this overall design.
Creative team Antinomy Company participated in the Weiwuying Circus Platform for the first time, transforming Banyan Plaza into a Banyan Circus Tent. The team proposed "returning to space, to objects, and to the body" to embrace the evolution and metaphor of space, objects, and body in circus development.

Themes
1. Banyan Circus Tent
A large ring-shaped structure is suspended high above the Banyan Plaza. A large piece of gauze fabric is wrapped around the structure, interlacing and extending into the Banyan space to recreate the space while creating a modern circus tent that gives off a sense of transparency and brings unique spatial experiences.
2. Wonder Pinball
This installation is inspired by the night market pinball game, a feature of Taiwan’s local culture. It incorporates the landscape characteristics of the Baiyue in Taiwan. The shape of the pinball machine is enlarged so that players can place themselves in it and play the game by using their body to control the balls.
3. Bubble Maze
As they walk into this giant maze, participants will encounter several bubble inflatables in the passages. Behind the bubbles, is it the final destination or another passage? From experiencing the space to the tactile sense of the body, the physical body needs to walk through the maze to find the result.
4. Dream Lander
Rocket launchers scattered at three fixed points in the Banyan Plaza are equipped with a kaleidoscope of dreamy landscapes of varying themes. The audience can board the Dream Lander and use the periscope, courtesy of this circus platform, to get a glimpse of the beautiful star-filled space in the universe, which also symbolises a myriad of infinite imaginings and fun-filled activities in the circus tent.

Team Introduction
Antinomy Company is a fluid-mixed media art group with members from different backgrounds such as literature, dance, music, theatre and visual arts. Using text, body, sound, and space as the main experimental materials, Antinomy Company explores the possibilities across art forms through theatre, performance art, sounds and installations, especially the polysemic possibilities.
The team's current focus is to observe and address the conflict between individuals' internal and external experiences through the diversity of elements, structures, and expressive forms.
Antinomy represents relativity and contradictoriness, while company connotes congregation. The team continues to explore because of the conflicts between individuals and the environment. Taking conflicts as the fuse to cause reactions, Antinomy Company inspects new territory of experiments.
Recent major production plans include the exhibition "LOST" of video works "Trace" by a South Korean private art institution Floor in 2022; "I Signed over My Trust" at the 2021 Creative Expo Taiwan; "VEINS" at the 2021 Taitung Fringe Festival; "New Normal" – "Torpor" at Banqiao 435 Art Zone; 2020 Nuit Blanche VEINS Installation Performance Program; "Intermedium” and "The Silent Moment of Self-Accusation" at the Hualien Performing Public Space Festival; "Scenes from Marriages" for Be Together at the Want to Dance Festival; and "Catch Sight of Time" art installation for the 2021 Taitung Corner Meets Art Program. The dance video "Torpor" was selected for screening at the "International Dance Video" event of the World Dance Alliance (WDA) Global Summit and was funded through the "Ministry of Culture Subsidy Program for Supporting Youth Artistic Development".
Ongoing projects in 2022 included "Vice Versa—Dual Solo Exhibition": "VEINS: Installation Performing Program" at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts from February to May; The Carnation Trilogy: "Scenes from Marriages" in April at Nanhai Theater; Summer Fun Time: New Art Program—"Bedtime Stories" at the National Taichung Theater in August 2022; and Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF): Innovations organized by the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) in November.
