The pandemic has inevitably changed the way we live. In an environment full of constraints and uncertainties, everyday life has become bizarre and ludicrous. In turn, our bodies have responded by embracing new understandings and feelings.
Through a striking minimalist duet, choreographer Choi Soyoung explores how the environment impacts our bodies subconsciously and reshapes its relationship with them. Following features at multiple dance festivals in Korea and London, this will be the piece’s debut in Hong Kong, with its music created by Kim Jaeduk, recipient of ’Outstanding Music Composition’ at the Hong Kong Dance Awards 2023.
