Asia Focus

A unique double bill bringing together two leading figures in contemporary art from Hong Kong and Japan. Whether exploring family ties or engaging in a dialogue with their own artistic worlds, the artists lay bare the boundary between the self, the other, and the world.

Ji Jie - FIT (12 min)

Body splicing, Compromise, Fitting

FIT explores the mother-child relationship in an East Asian context, navigating attachment, control, and self-effacement. Through bodies that come together and merge, the piece reveals the invisible tensions that run through intimate bonds. This solo offers a sensitive exploration of inner wounds, memory, and reconciliation with oneself.

Yasushi Kurotaki - Double Poem (15 min)

Perception, Memories, Existence

In Double Poem, Japanese choreographer and performer Yasushi Kurotaki explores the intimate dialogue between the creator and his work through the body. Inspired by mime and movement, he envisions each creation as a miniature of life and nature, where memory, gravity, and fragility converge. Winner of first prize at the 2023 SAI Dance Festival, he has developed a unique physical language, which he presents both in Japan and internationally.
