Dance

Is that what I (ultimately) want to say, or what you (initially) want to hear

Think. Ponder. Speak.
In the end, why, and what, is original
Action and reaction, a repeat of what has gone before
Discover, re-explore, and begin to put in writing
Construct, reconstruct, deconstruct
Actually, although, however, or even perhaps a pause
Can (not) say. Should (not) say. Said.

Following Pretext (Duo) and Pretext Tri(o)work, choreographer Ivanhoe Lam embarks on another elemental quest. Realising “the moment when utterance and thoughts intersect” in sensations, and brought into being by singer Priscilla Leung, actress Shirley Tsoi, dancers Han Mei and Lim Wei-wei, the show and its four individual performers ceaselessly move between saying and not saying, starting a conversation with oneself, and wrestling with the essence of being a “quartet”.
