Dance

This work deals mainly with our capacity to look at ourselves in a cynical way; in particular, our obsession with external beauty and our ability to laugh at ourselves. During the creative process, we were inspired by the ideas of self-sacrifice, love, giving, lightness, fear, disappointment, the ego, identity and others.
As we began the creative process for TOML, we borrowed from a previous work, DU-K, which dealt with the subject of “coexistence” and was a collaboration between SOL Dance Company and BJCDT from Beijing. During the rehearsals for TOML, the themes intensified and we began delving into deeper questions about the differences between our two cultures. That led us into an extraordinary and collaborative evolution, until we arrived at a work that had been completely transformed into a unique form.
