「table of contents」中文解作「目錄」，是大部份書藉的開首頁，用於闡述內容架構。
三人策劃團隊以混合而跳躍的聯想，將「table of contents」化成一張張實體的枱，作為知識交流的聚腳點、盛載意念內容的器皿，以至「演談」 (lecture performance) 的講台/舞台。
八位創作人分組「搭枱」跨域交流，從各自專業界別的構作出發，就不同議題的關注，探索意想不到的共鳴；從對方的故事，對照自己的歷程。當中，亦看見不同界別既共通又各異的「表演性」。表演性並非劇場創作獨有，在不同領域、媒界，其實都以不同形態展現著。通過這趟「搭枱」的過程，最後契合成四組交融的展覽作品，以及四組「演談」。
「演談」為近年國際流行的跨領域表演形式。既是演說：分享知識、觀點、議題的同時；又是演出：按講者或創作人的構思而加入表演元素，例如身體、聲音、影像等等。
「演談」在其中兩個週末舉行，但於日間的展覽，幾組枱，也就是幾組創作人的展覽作品，呈現他/她們較為抽象的概念的面向。展覽請來 KaCaMa Design Lab 團隊，為四組創作人就他們不同界別的特質、共同關心的題目、卻又不同的思考方式，構作出不同的「枱」，讓創作人置放、融合內容於其中，成為不同的「Table(s) of Contents」。
在這裡，枱，既是載體，又與內容相連。不同物料、形態的枱，精巧地結合成四組創作人的展覽作品，大家拭目以待。
“Table of contents” generally refers to the opening pages for books where readers are provided with a brief description of the structured materials.
Juxtaposing thoughts and perspectives, the three-member curatorial team are trying to connect the “table of contents” to a physical table which will serve as a rendezvous for knowledge exchange, a vessel for ideas and a podium/stage for “lecture performance”.
The project provides opportunity in connecting and pairing of the eight creators for dialogues, and generating interaction with each other based on their respective professions. In the process, unexpected resonance sparked, on social or personal issues. They also drew reflections upon similar and contrasting experiences. In such context, “performativity” can be observed as something common yet different across different disciplines. Performativity is not unique to theatre production; it manifests itself in distinct forms among sectors and media. Through “table sharing”, four sets of intertwined works and conversations are expected to be reached.
“Lecture performance” has gained much international attention as a cross-disciplinary performance form in recent years. It is both a speech: sharing of knowledge, ideas and issues, and a performance: a performance with elements such as body, sound, images, etc., conceived by the speaker or creator.
Apart from the “lecture performance” on two weekends, there will also be a daytime exhibition showcasing the creators’ concepts through “several tables”. We have proudly invited KaCaMa Design Lab to design and produce the “tables” for the project, where the tables are integrating with the creators’ unique disciplines, common concerns and unique ways of thinking. The table here is a carrier and a wire to the content. Tables of varied materials, shapes and conditions, intricately merge and form the four groups of exhibits. The outcome is beyond our imagination.
