(PICTURE WRITING)

In the dance piece, seven dancers explore the many ways of writing pictures through movement. The pictographs that are created work like a choreographic palimpsest: Beyond its shape on stage are layers of different meaning. In golden costumes, the dancers bodies appear like fluid material that form alchemical imaginations against the white backdrop of the stage. The dance piece is a collaboration between Jochen Roller and Korean National Contemporary Dance Company.
