Choreography: Kuik Swee Boon (Singapore)
During my time in Spain, I have witnessed many migrants. These nameless people
and their fates have led me to think about the idea of an endless pursuit; the things
they seek and risk, the culture and people they have left behind. Some of the
unfortunate ones have risked everything and lost even more. Even when one does not
move physically, perhaps in one’s heart, there is also a sense of restlessness and of
wanting something more; the desire to seek and find. – Kuik Swee Boon
A Singapore Arts Festival 2006 commission. Restaged at the CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival 2012 with T.H.E Second Company dancers.
