Pán: Why are we here?

From the original work of Pán《盤》(Best Performance, Asian Arts Award, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2021) comes Pán: Why are we here? — a re-edit of 2021’s livestream premiere with new footage shot in everyday social spaces to bring the explorations of transculturation closer to home. What do we have on our plates, and how do they coexist?

Infused with Founding Artistic Director and Main Choreographer Kuik Swee Boon’s HollowBody™ methodology and Resident Choreographer Kim Jae Duk’s unrelenting dynamism, Pán: Why are we here? is a filmic portrayal by dance-filmmaker Maurice Lai of culture, community, and an emergent reality.

Pán: Why are we here? is presented as part of T.H.E Dance Company’s programme lineup for its 15th anniversary.

This programme is approximately 90 minutes long and includes a dialogue with the artists after the screening.
