Disco-TECA

Disco-TECA brings to life a unique moment in history, taking you back to early 1980s China, when a sensational wave of disco music took the south of the country by storm. After three decades of collectivisation and isolation from the world, the country’s doors were swung open, and in stepped disco dancing, sequins, bell bottoms, and batwings. The performance delves into the ecstatic power of disco for a nation that was ‘opening up’, exploring gender, identity, rebellion, and sexual liberation. Evoking a poignant historical moment with the iconic stylings of disco, Disco-TECA will transport you to the dance halls of China's social reform era.
