LONG: Yeonhee Project I

long: Yeonhee project I :  Traditional performance & modern dance

Performers/dancers wear objects such as traditional percussion instruments as accessories and transform traditional elements when they come and go in a long space where street play is transformed. The audience faces both sides of the runway, actively appreciating the crossing of boundaries between tradition and modernity, performance and dance. It is a performance that reconstructs the Korean identity starting from tradition by repeating dissolution and reunion with clean static energy, repetition and reduction, slowness and void.

The traditional meaning of the five colors of the Yeonhee costume is reinterpreted with the contemporary sensibility of the participating artists. The overall structure of beginning-dissolution-gesture, coldness-circularity-movement, freedom-explosion-energy, coldness-fear-silence, source-harmony is a musical interpretation, and it contains a message about dissolution and coexistence that pervades the entire performance.

INTRO

Among the traditional representations, the performed goes a long way. Arriving in the space, the performers and dancers begin the fashion show by taking off the traditional attire. Yeonhee's movements and objects are reinterpreted.
