Description

Opening with a voicenote of the artist?s mother reflecting on overwork, xenophobia & cultural invisibility through the semiotics of the snake & ingrained tendency of Hek Fu ?? (transl.: eating bitterness)? the song of the declining dialect of Toisanese forms the background to which the duo onstage perform a repetitious choreography suspended between work and ritual.

Movement eventually departs into sensuous animalism, exploring what liberatory potential is there when we learn from & embody more than being human. Wearing sculptural costuming illuminated by light, and shifting form with the dancer?s movements, the performance projects transformational imaginings of cultural & futuristic hybridity.
