Chieh-Hua Hsieh X Anarchy Dance Theatre ”The Eternal Straight Line”
Death is like a lake, in which one always looks toward the bottom, imagining a place where the soul wanders. Death is also like a black hole guarding the end of time, reciting the equality of all life. If one day we traverse on the light of technology through the borderline of life and change the meaning and form of death, enabling your loved ones to take on a digital form and remain forever with you, would this be something you’d accept?
A collaboration between the multidisciplinary choreographer Jeff Hsieh and technological art studio Ultra Combos, The Eternal Straight Line is their latest project after their 2015 piece Second Body. A test of physical movement, this new work centers on the dance of smoke through warmth and consciousness, in which story-telling dancers weave through lights, shadows and mist, holding weightless, formless smoke in the form of weighted emotions, and coming together in a provoking discourse of life and death that gazes forward into the depths of the future.
Anarchy Dance Theatre
Founded in 2010, Anarchy Dance Theatre uses contemporary dance theatre to express our concerns about people and life, by reproducing through movement the intricate power structures and personal relationships in today’s powerful social structures. Anarchy strives to create a dance training structure of its own, starting from awareness of the body, and reaching out to explore the relationships between time, space, objects and others, with the intention of increasing one’s own sensitivity.
Chieh-hua Hsieh
Artistic director of Anarchy Dance Theatre. His works are composed of a special texture derived from his architecture background. In general, his works possess strong structural characteristics—a creative perspective dealing with time, space and energy together. Jeff’s distinguish works of choreography include Second Body (2015) and Seventh Sense (2011) that are mainly focusing on interactive dance performance. Those works has started to gain public attention, already being invited to several international festivals including Ars Electronica, TodaysArt Festival, George Town Festival and so on. Since 2015, he started to work with I-fen Tung to create a series of dance-installation “You Choreograph”, is trying to expand the expression form of dance beyond “performance”. He is also one of the director of opening ceremony of 2017 summer universiade.
