Wednesday 26th March 5 – 9 pm
Whatever touches the soul, a sound, skin on skin, a look from afar, drags us out further into open water. Connecting beyond the border that once defined us. Every touch cutting through the lines of breaking waves like a river flowing out to sea.
Partly inspired by the book “A Single Man” (1964) by Christopher Isherwood, this durational performance for two dancers explores the essence of lack of closeness. Metaphorical layers and layers of cloth, dressing and undressing. Covering and peeling, so as to find their best fit into their misfit. Christine He and Jonathan Hung will use their bodies to build a site-specific conversation with the Central Theatre specially for Night Central 2025.
We hug into form, hug into a shape; hug onto skin, pore to pore sinking in.
We hug into the void, just to fill up the holes. May it block all the leakages, just to make our hearts whole. Squeezing veins so tight; the heart only remains.
We are alone together, moulding layers of forever.
