2. Walking Dead

Duration: 6 min

Choreography/Performance: LV Yingyu

INTRODUCTION

This works won the top prize in kaciea MGH international dance competition in Korea, and was selected into the 2019 Korea international modern dance competition. Inspired by Gabriel's lonely survivor, as the lyrics say, I hope I can swim one day and swim like a dolphin. How can I be a hero even if I can be king for one day. Under this kind of creative thinking, the work depicts a transparent man-made foundation image that seems to have no "temperature" in the cover and is immersed in his own world all day long; in the movement creation, the small joint linkage movement mode is used to fit the dull and lonely character image; combined with the fluidity of big movements, the actor's erratic passive body texture and action size are fitted In contrast, the image of a lonely individual only exists in his own world. It shows the director's thought: friendship, love and life are the same. Being a person who doesn't need to please others may be an individual without "temperature" in others' eyes, but it is enough to turn yourself into what you want.

INTRODUCTION

"□" is the space that exists in people's hearts, the world where people live in symbiosis. When the space is gradually occupied, there exists human entanglements, disputes, oppression and submission from conflicts and chaos to harmony and unity, even to disintegration. While adapting to the existing environment, roads leading to different directions appear outside the space. Do we choose to stay in the so-called comfort zone or head for the front full of unknowns?

INTRODUCTION

Remember 2020 Spring by this Dance Work To The Night

Night rises from the earth
Shading the bright sky
The desolate earth after harvest
Night ascends from your interiority


You come from afar, I go far away
The distant journey passes here
The sky has nothing at all
Why do you give me solace


The desolate earth after harvest
People take away a year's harvest
Take away grains and ride horses away
The people left in the fields are buried deep


Pitch-forks glitter, straws pile on the fire
The paddies pile in the dark barns
Too dark, too silent, too much in the barns
Yet too desolate, I see Yama's eyes in harvest


A flock of birds like black raindrops
Fly into the night from the twilight
The night has nothing at all
Why does it give me solace

Walking on the way
I sing at the top of my voice
Big wind blow through the hill
Over which is the boundless sky


The Anthem of Night -- for the Daughter of Night By Haizi
(Translator:Wu Xinjian)

INTRODUCTION

I realise that I have forgotten once again, and I had forgotten to repeat.
I thought I had been on a journey for long.
I cannot remember when I started, not that I wanted to.
A new journey has already begun, when I want to take a break briefly,
The journey has already begun, to a place called 'winter'.
