THE SEAS BETWEEN US

In the organizer's words:

🎭🌍 An event by euro-scene Leipzig. World premiere presented in cooperation with HELLERAU - European Center for the Arts.

THE SEAS BETWEEN US - Polymer DMT / Fang Yun Lo (Essen / Dresden / Taichung)

THE SEAS BETWEEN US is a choreographic duet by the Dresden-based Taiwanese choreographer Lo Fang-Yun, developed in collaboration with the Taiwanese dancer Chou Shu-Yi and the Singaporean dancer Lee Mun Wai, who lives in Berlin. The starting point of the artistic collaboration is the unresolved China Taiwan question - as well as the fundamental question of how political systems and cultural influences affect our biographies, our thoughts and actions. The result is a moving dialog in which personal experiences are placed in relation to social and political contexts. Chou and Lee bring their individual dance biographies to the stage. In their choreographic exploration, they make differences, convergences and frictions visible. This allows them to negotiate questions of respect and mutual understanding beyond national, cultural and historical boundaries. How does Taiwanese society deal with its Chinese heritage today? And how do other societies with a Chinese background position themselves in times of global tensions? THE SEAS BETWEEN US approaches these questions through the language of the body - and opens up a multi-layered space for reflection, encounters and exchange.
