Easily the most abstract and inspiring work I’ve seen to date, it’s really quite a shame there were only two performances. The performers: a troupe of young women from Southern Taiwan, many of whom relied on their own finances to make this Fringe experience come to fruition.
The choreography combined equal parts environmental theatre and interpretive dance with performers occasionally traveling through or embracing the audience between freeform dance segments. On the surface the concept seemed to thematically deconstruct the relationships we maintain with those primitive, guiltless, and weightless forms of existence from which we were born, vis-à-vis the evolved, weighty, and multidimensional lives we live now. However, as became evident during the 10 minute Q&A session after the performance, it was simultaneously a highly personal and genuinely honest expression of life for each performer.
It was communicated through glowing bottles, a conservatively lit stage, and unrestrained dance. This was the realisation of their dream, of this portion of their lives; and sitting in the audience was all that was required to participate and understand.
