'Beyond Time'

THIS dance drama investigates the relationship between ‘man’ and ‘universe.’ In this performance, sacred dance movement, originally rooted from ancient religious dance discovered by Armenian thinker George Gurdjieff, is featured and it encodes certain meanings, such as the movement of the planets in the solar system. The drum playing in the show departs from the traditional styles by having the performers carry the drums on their backs and use their bodies to convey the sounds, creating rhythm with physical tempo. The whole performance uses imaging technology to construct a more distinct three-dimensional and multi-layered stage as well as a virtual 4D space through the use of projection and mirrored floors. Light is projected to create a contrast between ‘substance’ and ‘void,’ bringing the audience and performers to enter a ‘universe of time and space.’
