Phaedra’s Love, by the iconic English playwright Sarah Kane, explores moral taboos surrounding love and desire within a royal family. In this collaborative performance with Yang’s Ensemble, Weng Wei-Hsiang employed multiple cameras, including a drone that moved and monitored every action occurring on site during the performance. The live surveillance footage was simultaneously projected onto multiple screens in real time.
Through this interplay of performance, imagery, and technology, the work exposes the entangled desires, moral ambiguities, and power struggles embedded within the narrative. The royal family’s suppressed emotions and psychological tensions are laid bare before the audience—transformed into a contemporary reflection on voyeurism, control, and the mediated gaze.
