Time – an eternal proposition and the essence of performing arts. If time isn’t linear, how does it manifest itself?

Pentaverse

Pat Toh
Singapore
Breath is perhaps the most blatant protest against unspoken body politics: distorted sports culture, the blind pursuit of physical productivity and the risk of being treated as human capital.
Detail

Empty

Charlie Leung
Hong Kong
On an almost empty space as desolate as the hard-hearted world, a lone dancer creates and contradicts space, revealing the concealed human facets.
Detail

Those who ain’t damn nobody

nobody_2
Kohei Wakaba
Japan
The eccentric duo makes imagination literal and in your face. The powerful mix of Butoh, contemporary dance, classical and rock n’ roll demonstrates how far extremity can go.

Tan-ki Wong

Wrestling with his own shadow, the dancer’s every move, pause and limbo on stage construct a strong proposition about his dance life.
Detail

backtrack_1
Terry Tsang

The all-male cast smashes the door of bygones and sets off an introspective expedition, witnessing life and death, and eventually arriving at the self.
