Against finds its origins in an unsuccessful proposal for T.H.E’s Emerging Choreographers I platform (2009) by Zihao. Intended then as a rebellious counterpoint to the eventual piece presented, Against evolved alongside the choreographer’s sensibilities to reflect his 8 years with the company. It is borne of the inspirations, ideas, misunderstandings, and head-on collisions that occur when bodies come together in a space. The sense of conflict arises not to destroy, but to motivate one another, fuelling the artist’s creativity and affirming his individual beliefs in the process.
