『A Complementary Set_Disappearing with an Impact』/『Beings』

“A Complementary Set_Disappearing with an Impact” This piece is choreographed and performed by the duo Choi Minsun and Kang Jinan, following their Jury Prize-winning work “Complement” at the YDC Competition I in 2018. “Complement” disrupted time and space by dually incorporating real-life dance with visuals using cameras and monitors, exploring what emerges between two and three dimensions. Their latest creation, however, begins with the question, “Can the things that exist outside our human gaze be controlled?” Behold a space—one generated by the duo's relationship, what lies within and beyond video frames, the present and the past, and abstracted sound. When the body, visual images, and music lose their meaning in reality, what emerges from the interaction between the visible and the invisible, between presence and absence? “Beings” “From one to two, I glimpse 'I' through us.” Emerging Taiwanese choreographer Wang created this intimate duo performance, inspired by the Chinese character for “person.” Imagine a large white sheet of paper and ink as they invade two bodies. The relationship between this intertwining male-female pair transforms and intensifies, hurling itself at an unexpected ending with every passing moment. Experimental yet brimming with hidden passion, “Beings” was presented in an online format at YDC2021-DEC Competition I during the COVID-19 pandemic. It received the Encouragement Prize, the Studio Architanz Artist Support Prize, and the Kinosaki International Arts Center Prize. Afterward, it garnered high praise with performances in Europe and North America. And now, as it returns to YDC as a live theater performance, you do not want to miss it.
