Hanging in the Balance - Behind the Scenes
In a duet performance, Lee Ren Xin and Miwa Okuno reunite from their 2014 AFX collaboration to delve into the different conscious states of the forgotten body to find its voice in today’s disembodied way of life.
How would an angular stone roll? This quirky work, Rolling Stone by Ji Kyungmin uses speed and music to take “rolling” to a whole new level. Together with dancers from T.H.E Second Company, Ji leaves no stone unturned as he embarks on a mind-boggling journey of getting sharp-cornered “human stones” to roll as smoothly as soccer balls.
Exploring the human condition, Isabella Giustina and T.H.E Second Company present Hanging in the Balance. In a world where we often endeavour to hide our insecurities and fears amidst our convictions, could there be a superhuman power behind our fragility?
