Folding Echoes

Folding Echoes is a solo dance piece exploring the way contemporary dance performance being seen, interpreted and comprehended, especially in a theatre setting in modern society.

If you feel like you didn’t understand some aspects of contemporary dance, Joseph Lee explains it to you. As in a lecture-performance he connects his ironic treatise about communication in contemporary dance with extravagant solo dance inserts. The whole performance tries to build up the logic between symbols in the theatre, language used, sound and lighting design, and then to disconnect the links among them from time to time to distort the logic that we conceived earlier, thus, creating another layer of cognitive logic to the audiences.
 
“Echoes” as in the title refers to the experience that the audience would experience once they enter the theatre, and when they started to question about the unexpected choreography choices, they initiate the inner conversation with their past experience, almost like echoes with themselves.
