Matrix II

Matrix II was chosen as one of the six best performance designs in US and selected as part of US National Exhibit at Prague Quadrennial 2015. Matrix II was also nominated for Best Interactive & New Media Design at the World Stage Design 2013.

Matrix II is a reaction to my own personal life experience, and I express them in the only language that I speak well, the language of theatre. The story was written & conceived by me in collaboration with Karola Lüttringhaus, Artistic Director of Alban Elved Dance Company.

Matrix II is based on the concept of the dehumanization and isolation caused by technology. The story explores the perception that the increasing pervasiveness of technology and our desire to intensify individuality perhaps tends to dehumanize and isolate us. Matrix II shows the reciprocal interconnectedness between people and their environment by defining the dancers' world through animated geometrical and divergent projections. This digitally created totality reflects on and juxtaposes the dancers’ visceral expressions in their attempt to find emotional resonance.you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
