Is success a necessity? Evolution and degeneration mean different things to each of us. This is a journey of self-doubt, self-realisation, and self-consolation. Choreographer Tai Chi-lun integrates objects of daily life into  this work, distilling an aesthetic suffused with his personal style and presenting a \u2018theory of degeneration and evolution in 2023\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ccdfestival.hk\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/CN2_Degenerate-Evolution_Tai-Chi-lun_Portrait-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2350\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>TAI Chi-lun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tai Chi-lun\u2019s creative style incorporates elements of nihilism, allowing viewers to express their negative emotions and experience the melancholic beauty within. His works integrate interdisciplinary elements and installations, seeking the transcendence of individual will and embodying a sense of realisation of the value of existence in reality. Tai was invited to collaborate and perform with various organisations, including Chiayi New Style Choreography, Grasstraw Festival, Cloud Gate Art Makers Project, Seed Dance, Taipei Fringe Festival, Math-rock Band Elephant Gym, and Grass Power Studio Production.
