I’M NOT SURE ABOUT YOU, BUT I NEED … premiered in London last July and later presented during ImPulsTanz, Vienna International Dance Festival 2019, and Goethe-Institut Hongkong in October 2020, where the duo performs "dancing as gallery" as a rebellious response to "dancing in gallery”. They are opening up a direct conversation with our audience through digital interactive technology. 

​

The work interrogates the nature of our digital society as the performer is surrounded by the spectators and their gadgets, at the same time, contemplated on the power tug-of-war of the performance space and the contemporary society.

​

The space constantly transforms when the performers lead the audience to interact with their phones and rove around the space. The mobilisation forms the landscape and confuses the boundaries between exhibition and theatre, daily life and performance, digital and physical. Oranges are peeled, rice is eaten. Projection emerges on the bodies as the work evolves into an uproar to the world’s instabilities.

“Holding the mirror in the face of people: this is how modern technology abuses you already.”

- Rio Rutzinger, Artistic Director of ImPulsTanz - Vienna International Dance Festival

​

“(They are) creating a journey of interesting juxtaposed, integrated, and co-existing elements that weaved a complex and engaging performance… intelligent, bold, articulated, nuanced, and full of conviction”

– Eva Recacha, London-based choreographer, Sadler’s Wells, The Place, DanceXchange, Bloomberg Space, Opera Estate Festival, Veneto

​

“Spectacular physically, highly symbolic. I felt a sense of urgency…, that you have to respond to the digitalization of the world. We don't know how we communicate, what information does to us, what is going on, what is the human being, what is my body there.”

- Anne Juren, French choreographer/performer, P.A.R.T.S., Tanzquartier Wien, modul-dance

​

​“This is without a doubt one of the most digitally experimental fringe shows you’re likely to see … There’s an undeniably attractive energy, which pulls the audience in from the moment they step foot inside and doesn’t let up until the very end.” 

- Mike Wells, The Reviews Hub​
