One/of/Two
Choreographer : Willem Sadler
Dancers : Nadia Dardano & Angelina Da Silva
Music : Tao-Stone Leduc, Kendrick Lamar and MF Doom
One/of/Two was born from the fusion of contemporary dance and hip-hop. The piece explores the complexities of interpersonal dependency while highlighting themes of belonging, betrayal, and abuse. The movement illustrates the transition of a relationship from stability and comfort to a state of imbalance and conflict, revealing the fragility of the bond that connects individuals.

Toujours nulle part
Choreographer and dancer : Léo « Hit » Coupal
In our personal lives as in our societies, being pulled in all directions creates the feeling of being nowhere.
Divided by a multitude of interests, overwhelmed by surrounding stimuli, and overtaken by contemporary issues, it becomes difficult to know where to go. By blurring the line between the personal and the political, Toujours nulle part explores the feeling of disorientation and the search for meaning experienced on both an individual and collective level.

HORSE
FreeSteps — NiNi
Choreographer : Wei-Chia Su
Dancer : NiNi (Yu-Ting Fang)
Launched in 2013, choreographer Wei-Chia Su’s FreeSteps series explores the relationship between contours, shapes, movements, trajectories, and characteristics. The premiere of NiNi took place in March 2019 at the National Theater & Concert Hall as part of the Taiwan International Festival of Arts.
FreeSteps — Grand Canyon
Choreographer : Wei-Chia Su
Dancer : Pei-Yung Chen
In the FreeSteps series, Grand Canyon presents a dynamic sculptural experience.
It is a kinetic sculpture where the dancing body engages in a profound interaction with heterogeneous materials.
These interactions, unfolding within the shifting balance of force and form, forge ephemeral and organic connections.
The resulting transformations of texture and mass evoke a powerful mimicry of the landscape, reflecting the earth’s own orogenetic processes.
