Form without form,
Path without path,
Motion without motion,
Self without self.
The choreography is inspired by the paintings of Liu Wentao, in which 'the intertwining straight lines result in a tranquil geometric space'. From a Chinese philosophy perspective, the choreography goes on to explore the concepts of ‘dot-line-plane’ through the physicality of the dancers, their extended dynamics, and the relations in between these two. Untitled III reveals the shifting relations between the states of ‘Have Not, or Non-existence’ and ‘Have, or Existence’, further to reflect the emotional and physical distance between individuals in order to attain inner peace.
Audience are invited to attend the post-performance meet-the-artist session.
