Single strains of light scattered by fog enlighten the stage. Silhouettes move delicately through the twilight, stepping into the light only for a fleeting moment. The performance “Jungle” delves into the landscape of the jungle and follows its multi-layered associations to contemplate on the weight and depth of our existence. “Jungle” is a work with 16 dancers under the artistic direction of choreographer Kim Sungyong. Based on a movement research Sungyong developed, the performance allows the dancers to react to one another and modulate their movements, accompanied by the hypnotic sounds of composer Marihiko Hara.
