Equilibrium

by
Synopsis

Equilibrium probes Asia's ancient wisdom - specifically, Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. The work contemplates the pitfalls of Western capitalism: increased greed, jealousy and unhappiness. The dancers seek the "purest state of contentment." 

Do we need fame and wealth in order to be happy? 

"Instead of inhaling from the world to fill the emptiness within, one should endeavour to empty one's mind and soul "

Equilibrium was presented as part of T.H.E Dance Company Triple Bill (2016)

World Premiere: December 2016, M1 CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival 2016 – T.H.E Dance Company Triple Bill , Esplanade Theatre Studio,Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Singapore
