The crossing of cultures is a fundamental tool to enrich each and every member of a society.
MASDANZA, through this programme, aims to promote artists from different countries, dedicating each year to a specific country a unique and exclusive space to show the work carried out by the creators and artists of the chosen country.
MASDANZA KOREA 2022
SATURDAY 22 // CUYÁS THEATRE // 19,30 h
QUERENCIA (20’)
Seoul, South Korea
Created & Performed by > SUJEONG KIM
Original Music> Mika Vainio “Stratostaatti”, Shani Cohen
“Modern people who have busy daily lives create their own unobstructed space to recharge their mind and body. Small comma for survival. Where my own healing starts. Querencia”.
LANDING ERROR (20’)
Seúl, Corea del Sur / Seoul, South Korea
GOBLIN PARTY
Creadores & Intérpretes / Created & Performed by> JINHO LIM & KYUNGMIN JI
Música / Music> Coldplay “The Scientist”
“Hello earthlings. Our bodies combined as a circle may seem strange. Do not be afraid. We come from somewhere else, not from Earth. We are living beings who have made a crash landing. We would like to observe and try to imitate you while we are here. We will be here for a while and then we will leave. Why don’t you observe yourselves through our bodies? Take your time to see the world you live in through our strange bodies”.
WAVES (15’)
Seúl, Corea del Sur / Seoul, South Korea
Creadora & Intérprete / Created & Performed by > SUN-A LEE
Música / Music > Electro Musik, Duel “Benga”, Dutch Flowerz “Skream”
“My research concerns micro-movement. This type of movement exists naturally in the human body when it reacts to sound and music. These movements are tiny and natural, but they will grow and grow and while expanding, they will emit high amounts of energy, leading to explosions on the body’s surface. When the music starts, my energy accelerates the heartbeat. I can feel how the blood that is circulating in my veins transmits ever stronger waves throughout my body. These waves are dancing inside me and become visible as they translate into movement that is transmitted to my skin”.
GAKSI (17’)
Seúl, Corea del Sur / Seoul, South Korea
ART PROJECT BORA
Creador / Created by > Bora Kim
Intérpretes / Performed by> Soyoung Choi & Kyuheon Lee
Música Original / Original Music> Jaeduk Kim “Gaksi”
“ ‘Gaksi’ means ‘the bride’ in Korean. The starting point of this work is to delete numerous languages and symbols that follow from this word. It speaks about the absence and oppression of invisible and altered sexuality in social customs, institutions, the gaze, and patriarchal society. It explores new relationships that transcend time between men and women, humans and non-humans, marriage and family systems, gender and species, gender and technology. This means that the diversity which is expressed from the body and the gender consciousness crosses the boundaries between freedom and lack of freedom, and is then expressed through dance”.
BREATHING ATTACK II (15’)
Seúl, Corea del Sur / Seoul, South Korea
MODERN TABLE
Creador / Created by > Jaeduk Kim
Intérpretes / Performed by > Jaeduk Kim, Jungin Lee, Hansol Kim & Namhoon Kim
Música Original / Original Music> Jaeduk Kim “Breathing Attack”
“In ‘Breathing Attack Il’, the diversity of power aligned through breath and breath as matter is expressed. The dancers relate and separate through breath. They perform a number of movements quickly, stopping instantly, using the breathing while in a difficult situation. This creates a natural relationship with the audience through concentration on the body”.
The MASDANZA KOREA Programme has been organized thanks to the collaboration of IPAP (International Performing Arts Project) and CSK (Center Stage Korea).
