  © privat Team Shanghai _ao_ao_ing ensemble (老妖精) is an evolving artist collective that uses contemporary theatre and cross-media performance as creative mediums. Their works move through art museums, black boxes, and everyday scenes in search of a site more unique than the conventional theatre stage. Based in Shanghai, _ao_ao_ing has six core members who work collaboratively in conceptualizing, devising, producing, and performing all their projects. They thrive in the blurry zone where theatricality borders with real life, making each performance an unrepeatable occurrence.
