In the repertoire2025dance
A complex duet by two world-class dancers, as a commentary on the unresolved conflict between Taiwan and China. How do you talk about concepts such as home, people or nation, and about power, war and violence? Who writes history? And how do political systems affect our lives, actions and thoughts?
