Gathering and dispersing, they witness the passage of time while traversing history. Both billowy and static, they reflect the polar extremes within each of us. This production marks the latest creation of CCDC Resident Choreographer Sang Jijia following his award-winning work Meeting In-between Time. Featuring a troupe of over 40 dancers from the company as well as graduating students of School of Dance, HKAPA, the performance invites audiences to witness the motion of dust within a captivating stage and spectating space, as it floats and puts down roots while dancing with the light, rising and falling with the world around it.
