The lights go off – who do you remember? How much of oneself is visible on stage? The work revolves around the theme of what is ‘seen’, ‘unseen’, and ‘ignored’, responding to society with each individual in the group, in a metaphor of survival and disappearance. Choreographer KT Yau conducts a ‘reduction’ experiment, in which she searches for oneself’s true state and creates value of their existence in a cramped environment.
