Pioneering choreographer Eun-Me Ahn’s latest extravagant production sees her extraordinary company of dancers interacting on stage with stunning projections of five inspiring young performers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan.
Taeseok Lee’s vivid and colourful projections bring forests and clouded skies to life and an evocative soundtrack from Jang Young-Gyu seamlessly blends contemporary pop and electronic with a traditional score.
