‘IT’S NOT MY BODY’ series began in 2014. With his unique dance sensibility and experimentation with the body, choreographer Tanki Wong recreates the purpose of dance through a duel of flesh and shadows. Coming to chapter 3.5 this time, the series continues its study of the human body and exploration of the motive of dance, inviting the audience to witness the dancers’ choice: to dance or not to dance; to trap or not to trap oneself; and to be or not to be?
