“Folding Echoes”
\n\u201cJoseph Lee gets the pad-special-award for extra strong presence on stage, highest energy of acting, interactive depiction power and absolute physical precision!\u201d
International Performance Festival, Mainz, Germany<\/p>\n
How do we deem the world?
\nHow does the world define our perception of it?
\nWhat does it mean by norm\/regularity\/understanding?
\nCan I still create anything in the known world?<\/p>\n
It is originated from audiences\u2019 urge to \u201cunderstand\u201d a contemporary dance performance in general across cultures, and the way that they connect the performance with their own experience, and the possibilities for a language to convey or interrupt the meanings of movements and dance.<\/p>\n
“The 16th Day”
\n\u201cI really appreciated her use of sound and lighting in this work, they go well with the subtle yet strong repetitive gestures of the dancer, creating a dark and mythical atmosphere that is pretty impressive.\u201d
\nWilliam Chan@ Hong Kong Dance Journal<\/p>\n
The special lighting and sound effects activate a dialogue between the work and its audience into the world of insomnia. The choreographer abandons traditional moves and tries to create a new form of beauty, a unison of mind and body, an unconventional move, which started from the vellication of head. It is not only a personal story but it also questions about in what way the society affects our personal values and how to break with the traditional meaning of \u201cbeauty\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 16th day was commissioned and produced by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and was premiered at The Hong Kong Jockey Club Contemporary Dance Series 2016.<\/p>\n
