Also known as by its Chinese name Meiyou Gudao, or “there is no lonely island”, this performance focuses on the challenges modern humans face in developing complex relationships in the information era, which makes its Chinese title even more apt. Defined by modern dance and a sense of optimism, Inside is punctuated by vulner- ability and yearning movements that reflect our own emotions and difficulties trying to connect with others in the digital era.
The performance also includes an eclectic soundtrack that accompanies the sharp shifts of mood, including a Louis Armstrong cover of the classic song ‘La Vie en Rose.’ This month, enjoy Gong Xingxing’s dance performance as it dramatizes our loneliness and the power of love to overcome the human condition of being trapped inside ourselves as we reach out to form connec- tions in whatever way possible.
