浮·动

节目简介：

《浮·动》是一场捉迷藏的游戏，亦是一支充满简约美的双人舞，游走于嬉戏、挑衅和信任之间。空荡荡的房间里，两位男舞者站在中间，音乐响亮、颤动，勾勒出身体的轮廓、衬托着身体线条的张力。时而深思，时而激进，他们在寻找，寻找人与人之间那看得见和看不见的微妙关系。正如时间的轮回往复，一切情况、关系都在不断重现，却永不相同。我们总是想要得到另外一个人，想有一个朋友，想有一个亲人，想遇到一个陌生人，甚至制造一个敌人。

蓝房子

节目简介：

Programme Description:

This charged duet focuses on the dramatic conflict of gender roles expressed in men’s and women’s relationships. It questions commonly accepted concepts of original gender identity and voice. The passive and active roles are switched and expressed in the compelling interplay for control of the movement dynamic. It leads us to wonder with fascinating uncertainty - is this the male voice or the female voice speaking?

Programme Description:

Uphill is a game of hide and seek, a duet of simple beauty at the edge between game, provocation and confidence. Set in a bare room, with only two men standing at its centre, loud and pulsating music underlines the bodies’ architecture and the invisible lines of tension. Sometimes meditative, sometimes radical, they look for the core of human beings between the visible and the hidden. Like the cyclical nature of time, the situations and the relationships are repeated, but never the same. There is always the desire of the other - the friend, the brother, the stranger and perhaps even the enemy.

Programme Description:

Blue Room is a duet that explores relationships. It’s an open dialogue defined by constant development and changes through myriad possible existences of two individuals with their background, behaviors, languages and culture. The artists hope to illuminate the co-existence of two fully equal independent minds and bodies in the same space and time. This may include harmony, collision, overlap, confrontation or mutual support.
