Recapturing... Vague

A visual set for Recapturing... Vague by choreographer, Zhuo Zihao. Commissioned by the Singapore Arts Festival 2011.

Credits to Margalex for camera work.

Synopsis:

A child is born with myopia so serious he is almost blind. Years later, as a grown man and an emerging choreographer, he tries to remember his boyhood days, but what he can conjure up are not visual images, but the stuff of other senses.

Recapturing... Vague is inspired by Zhuo Zihao's mission to recall the feeling of his myopic childhood, a feeling formed out of senses other than sight. The resulting dance evokes something diaphanous, a sentiment of something so close and yet so far, akin to perceiving with certainty the existence of something through frosted glass, but not knowing what the something is beyond shadows and vagueness.

Recapturing... Vague is performed by a small and select team of dancers, accompanied by original soundtrack and visual projection, and choreographed by Zhuo Zihao.

Nepenthe for a Broken Heart

A collaboration with writer, Reilly Phanes, Nepenthe for a Broken Heart illustrates journal entries, honouring an emotional landscape that is at once exquisite and universal in its humanity.

Reilly is a free spirit with a bohemian attitude towards life. He loves travelling, reading and laughing, A LOT. He journals to process the experiences he encounters in his life; the things that spill over; the scary emotions; authentic living and the questions that remain.

Dark Night of the Soul

A series of prints illustrating processes that affect the human body and psyche. It has a strong thematic focus on psychoanalytical theories on childhood, sex, gender and desire, examining instinct and the unrestrained human psyche. In the narration of each print, some reference mythology, fairytales and biblical stories. It's title regards conflict that arises from the dualism of primal impulse and the mind's perpetual moralizing

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away
