Technology evolves, desires expand, do our lives become more comfortable, or more hectic?
Will history, culture and traditions diminish with the evolution of developments?
How to preserve cultural traditions alongside developments?
How could modern men find a balancing point facing the dichotomy of civilizations/developments/technology and history/culture/traditions?
The cultural crash between the contemporary performing arts elites of Hong Kong and Poland for the first time will explore the intricate relations of cultural traditions and modern technology in today’s world.
RE/evolution is an Exchange / Co-creation Project of Y-Space (HK) and Silesian Dance Theatre (Poland). The work will have its world premiere in Hong Kong in May, and will tour to Poland in participation of the 17th Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference & Performance Festival in 2010.
“Y-Space was excellent….The choreography is well executed. Their performance cuts across cultures”
– The Herald
Silesian Dance Theatre (SDT) (Poland)
SDT is Poland’s first professional contemporary dance company, established in 1991 by Jacek Luminski. Luminski has developed a new dance form and style based on the rich cultural traditions of Poland. The company has toured extensively in Europe and the States. Since 1994, SDT organizes the Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference and Performance Festival, which attracted performing groups from around the world.
