This gem-like male-female Taiwanese duet puts some unexpected spins on the familiar twinned theme of love and loss.

The plasticity and musicality of the action are very concentrated, in the tradition of oriental poetry, like Haiku, in which the complex is compressed and synthesized, current and eternal, in the delicacy of the simple, the minimal.

All about Beings

 

Beings, is the first episode of choreographer WANG Yeu-Kwn’s project, “A Trilody - Quest of Relationships.” Taking inspiration from the Chinese character “ 人 ” (person), the dance piece focuses on exploring a new way of looking at the narrative on relationships, deconstructing and reconstructing those between the two supporting calligraphy strokes, between two intimately connected performers, and between rice paper and ink.

“Beings” takes inspiration from the Chinese character “人 ”(person)
The dance piece touches on the relationships between the two supporting calligraphy strokes

The twists and creases of the paper, born of each dance step, bear witness to every trace of the past. As the ink flows from the dancers' bodies, everything is transmuted into an unerasable record and proof.

Shimmering Production extends the audience experience to an exhibition experimenting on the variations of the papers from the dance, and workshops applying the movements of the work.

人之島 Island
Bodies are like vessels drifting with the waves of the ocean;
perhaps we will only begin to understand each other as we left our islands.

All about Islands

 

Islands, is the second episode of “A Trilogy - Quest of Relationships.” Inspired by choreographer WANG Yeu-Kwn’s 2019 trip to Indonesia in search of a giant fish— the self identify.

On a quest to unearth the story of his own name, Wang Yeu-kwn sets sail for the southeastern island nations, where he engages Indonesian dancer Danang Pamungkas in a dialogue through body and life experiences.
They explore the weight of bodies anchored to land and air, where identity, like the shifting shores, ebbs and flows with the tides.
