Belgian dancer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to perform "Puz/zle"
********************************************************
In Puz/zle, Cherkaoui addresses, in an abstract fashion, the notion of the multiple and of multiplicity rooted in our thought processes, as well as the question of how things fit together to create a new and distinct identity, like a jigsaw puzzle.
Cherkaoui is intrigued by why certain connections succeed in coming together as an organic whole while others fail, and whether they actually fail or if the failure lies in our perception of order and disorder. He aims to question the seeming importance of order and linearity, exploring if there can be more than one way of solving a puzzle, of telling a tale and of living time.
Described by dance critic Thomas Tse, "… (Cherkaoui) uses rich images and symbols to construct stories but also to break them down. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe his process as the organic interaction of people, time, and space, with a deep concern for human circumstances, and the grand narrative of common fate."
"Puz/zle" will be staged at 8pm on December 13 and 14 (Friday and Saturday) at the Auditorium, Kwai Tsing Theatre. Tickets priced at $200, $360, $460 and $560 are now available at URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For telephone credit card bookings, please call 2111 5999.
