CNP welcomes dancer Chen Wu-kang and videographer Sun Ruey-horng to develop a new work entitled Closed Tomorrow at CalArts.
The collaborative duo of celebrated Taiwanese dance phenomenon Chen Wu-kang and Lucille Lortel award-winning performance maker Sun Ruey-horng conjure the ongoing neurological impacts of pandemic on our expressions of liveness—the body, its aura and its spiritual core. In a technology-driven collaboration that charts new dimensions in live dance and video performance, Closed Tomorrow makes legible the dancers’ real-time adaptations to a rapidly changing, heavily mediated performance space. At the same time, fast-fire live-editing allows bodies to break through the limits of physiology, invoking new possibilities for our emergent world.
