It is difficult to escape this time of extreme weariness and absurdity. Only with uncompromising determination and passion, could we ‘waste’ time well in this chaotic world. ‘Dance first, think later’— choreographer Duncan Tung welcomes the audience to clear their minds and search for insight into this torturing era.
