About this show
How do our bodies navigate a world in which boundaries and rules are constantly changing? Are there ways of finding closeness even in moments of separation? Could distance ever be seen and felt as a strength? A compelling tension between oneself and others underscores every moment of this captivating three-part quintet, beautifully brought to life by LEI Dance Theatre with Lao-French choreographer Olé Khamchanla. Intelligently blending traditional, contemporary and classical styles, it is an honest, imaginative and questioning dance about the way we live now.
