"Let's Leave This Place Roofless"
Choreography and Concept: Albert GARCIA
Poet Rupi Kaur wrote:
“There are mountains growing beneath our “feet” that cannot be contained
All we’ve endured has prepared us for this
Bring our hammers and fist
We have a glass ceiling to shatter.”
Raised in Macau with a Filipino descent, Albert Garcia’s works are wide-ranging and dive into myriad social issues. Following its debut in Taipei in 2021, this duo piece was invited to perform in Daegu, South Korea, and Macau.
"Boiling Bo"
Choreography and Performance: Bobo LAI
The oppression is getting one step closer, yet I return to myself, like returning home. Am I not _ _? I am _ _? I could be _ _? The point of origins is to reflect on self-existence and emotions and use balloons to change the shape of the body. Is it abnormal to have emotions? The balloon slowly disappears and suddenly explodes—is it a choice or being chosen? Former CCDC Senior Dance Artist Bobo Lai choreographs and performs Boiling Bo, creating a dance theatre work from daily life, stimulating the audience’s imagination.
"This is a Process"
Concept, Choreography and Performance: LIU Qingyu
Is ‘pǔ luó saì sī’ a destination? A person? An archive of a moving body? An avatar of a place? This process is like a serial drama about moving and experimenting. It is an echo, a march, where the body travels across different cultures and where different cultures flow through.
Starting from the experiences of an individual, this piece explores how the personal experiences are transformed into creative elements. A new space is constructed by combining continuous two-dimensional images and body movement — when it is immersed in the present moment, it also comprises new imagination.
