LIVE PERFORMANCE ONLINE STREAMING
ONGOING by Felix KE
When civilization declines and everything fades back to barbarism, how can we keep our faith and carry on? Choreographer Felix Ke collects his observations of society and projects his feelings and imagination onto this work, hoping to open a window through which the audience can reflect on this question.
Feast by Christy Poinsettia MA
“You are what you eat.” Food reflects the values and views of a person or society.
Choreographer Christy Ma uses “food” to present her insights into this world to show the absurdity of internal and external discord and self-deception. Humans continue to voraciously grab natural resources, believing that their civilization is superior, but in fact we are no different from cavemen.
noBODY by KT YAU
Who will you remember once the curtains close? How much of each performer’s “self” can you see up there on the stage?
The choreographer is conducting a “reduction” experiment. In a cramped environment, the performers make use of their limited resources to create new meanings.
