Choreographer Wayson Poon to present "Untitled III" in October
**************************************************************
Like the previous works in the series, "Untitled III" is inspired by Chinese contemporary artist Liu Wentao's paintings, in which intertwining straight lines result in a tranquil geometric space. The choreography goes on to explore, from a Chinese philosophy perspective, the concept of dots, lines and planes through the dancers' physicality and extended dynamics. "Untitled III" reveals the shifting relationship between the states of existence and non-existence, and goes further to reflect the emotional and physical distance between individuals in order to attain inner peace. Performed by Lo King-san, Chan Lok-hin, Kerry Cheung, Ho Ming-yan and Wing Lai, the production will be staged at 8pm on October 12 and 13 (Friday and Saturday) at the Theatre of Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre.
