Seeing ______ Through the Eyes of Impermanence II

In our ever-changing world, the desire to capture passing moments and transient experiences gives rise to questions about the nature of permanence itself. Are tangible objects and structures immune to forces of change? Could intangible forms, beliefs and values remain lasting in their relevance? What residues are inevitably left behind in the wake of impermanence?

The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company and T.H.E Second Company share the stage in Seeing ______ Through the Eyes of Impermanence II, featuring a restaging of 2012’s Hey Man! by resident choreographer Kim Jae Duk, and a reinterpretation of Kuik Swee Boon’s Helix (originally Helix, in progress in 2016). In looking at the interactions of singular and collective selves, this double bill reimagines ways of exchange, encounter and existence, reclaiming a contemporary resilience for the challenges of our times.
