Of Stone and Flower screening and performance
Batu Pahat, in Malay, means “stone” and is the birthplace of Ong Yong Lock. Flowers symbolize the connection between Ong and his mother in Malaysia. Ong, an established dancer-choreographer now based in Hong Kong, uses “stone” and “flower” as metaphors to explore the intersections between objects and lives, the eternal and the transient, the solid and the delicate, the enduring and the ever-changing. He will collaborate with filmmaker Shing Lee to document his return journey to Batu Pahat and create a dance video titled “Of Stone and Flower,” unraveling embodied history amidst fleeting memories and vanishing landscapes.
This event will feature a screening of the dance video “Of Stone and Flower,” along with a live demonstration performance by Ong Yong Lock at Five Arts Centre in Kuala Lumpur
