The Seas Between Us
by Polymer DMT/Fang Yun LoAbout The Seas Between Us
World politics and biographies intertwine on a gleaming silver platter.
The Seas Between Us is a powerful dance theatre duet by German-based Taiwanese choreographer Lo Fang-Yun, performed by acclaimed dancers Chou Shu-Yi and Lee Mun Wai.
Rooted in tensions between Taiwan and China, this emotionally charged work explores identity, history and the systems that shape us. Through movement, language, closeness and distance, two exceptional performers reveal how personal stories and global politics collide in the body.
A touching piece, both joyful and disturbing at the same time.
