Exhibitor’s Stories

Tea Party II <in the mix>, launched by Ateliea Tea in 2015, is the sequel, continuing to build the concept and introduce a more contemporary perspective on Asian tea cultures. A cross-disciplinary performance seen through the lens of Western bar/pub culture, Tea Party II creates a more modern interpretation of Asian traditional tea art. A Tea Party II performance takes experimental interactive multimedia as its centerpiece, and incorporates mixology, graphic visuals, interactive technology, electronic music, and industrial, fashion and space design, fusing dynamic rhythms with the calmness of drinking tea. It breaks with the traditions of tea drinking, changes how new generations perceive tea and offers our tradition a new future.
