New Force in Motion Series: 'The Left Hander'

8pm on September 12-13, and matinees (3pm) on weekends
By Blue Ka Wing

Because it already belongs to me 
Because it is the true me 
Because it is born unto me 

It is a simple honest feat to discover what one truly is 
The bloodline from which I came, bestowed on me by my parents and forebears 
My family is an extension of the self. Ever since I took to choreography, I was going to leave the molly-coddled environment

L'Imeddiat

June 20-21, 8pm
By Camille Boitel

In the award-winning L’Immédiat by contemporary circus performer and stage virtuoso Camille Boitel, nothing is what it seems. A stage packed full of clutter; furniture, cardboard boxes, and ladders serves as a playground for performers to charge through, under and over, causing pieces of the junkyard-set to cave in around them. Chaos builds. A woman comes home and everything falls over. She hangs up her coat and the rack collapses, puts her bag on a table but its legs have been sawn through. Disaster continues to spread at a frenetic speed as the 7 young artists use their formidable physical abilities and comedy timing to defy the ruthless tsunami of destabilizing forces.

A romantic work by a man of the post 80s

 

What do men born in the 1980s need…

 

How hard do we need to work

in order to achieve independence when we reach thirty?

Is this society moving too fast,

or am I moving too slowly?
