Factory Irregular is a performance collective led by two Chinese artists, Mengting Zhuo and Yujing Yan and was founded remotely in Beijing & London in 2016. We collaborate internationally and we explore creative forms that truly speak to the universal dilemma in our time.
Factory Irregular has by far made two shows that deal with live broadcasting and comments: The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep and Their Elopement (Leave the show now if you want to!) (2016) and TOGETHER (2017-18).
The project The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep and Their Elopement (Leave the show now if you want to!) is created with Xuefei Yang (China) and Yiqing Che (China). It has been featured in Beijing ONE Festival and Shanghai International Arts Festival. More details here.
The project TOGETHER is created with Piotr Mirowski (Poland/France), Smaragda Kara (Greece) and Maya Goldstein (Israel).
