Description

Sometimes emptiness is a limitation that prevents us from feeling other possibilities. It could bring peace or stimulate frustration. This contemporary dance theatre work uses familiar objects like balloons and string, and abstract physicality to look at the empty space between existence and nothingness from all sides. Should one adapt to it? Break it down? Or simply explore. Emptiness is devised and performed by interdisciplinary choreographer Xiaoyi Tong whose work crosses Chinese and Western culture, and dancer Jacob Gale.
