If our souls are the windows of civilisation, what would they reveal? Choreographer Boi Sakti confronts the moral decay engulfing society in this insightful and affecting new collaboration with T.H.E Dance Company. At once powerful and poetic, Void is laden with symbolism and meaning. Combining movement drawn from the traditions of Minangkabau dance and martial art forms with the aesthetics of contemporary dance.
Void was created as a festival commission, with a two-month artist residency at da:ns festival 2009 that took place at the Esplanade and the choreographer’s studio in Depok, Indonesia.
