“Gangnam Style” dance.
We The People (by Brian Gothong Tan) — a stunning visual feast that will bring audiences on a colorful and surreal journey by combining film, motion graphics and experimental animation.
Corredoras — two elegent dancers appear, somersaulting and diving at immense speed, like dandelion seeds in the wind, while the curtain shimmers in blue and purple lights.
Mylar — a translucent 15m pool suspended high overhead will slowly descend to fingertip level. Coloured light imbue the scene with ever-changing hues and tints as a rippling puddle of water ceaselessly sloshes across the pool’s see-through bottom. Four dancers slip and slide in rapturous motion inches above your heads. A sensous, unearthly, nearly hallucinatory experince.
La Argentina — a crane holds aloft a dancer of athletic proportions while musicians pound and strum on a variety of exotic instruments. This scene brings the audineces to Buenos Aires in 2010, during the celebration of the Bicentenary of the Argentinean Independencce.
