CREATURE TRILOGY by DPAC
Venue: Theatre, DPAC
Date / Time:
CREATURE TRILOGYpresented by DPAC
Strategic Partner:
Cultural Economy
Development Agency (CENDANA)
Presented by the Damansara Performing Arts Center (DPAC), with the Cultural and Economy Development Agency (CENDANA) as its strategic partner, "Creature Trilogy" will be held at DPAC from 17-18 October.
The impact of the pandemic saw the fate of this year's Damansara International Arts Festival uncertain, which disappointed many art lovers. Since the implementation of the RMCO, DPAC has presented performances through live broadcasts and live streams, as well as stage performances to a limited audience.
The performances from July to September have been met with warm reception and a demand for more. This October, DPAC will bring dance-centric “Creature Trilogy” (initially a part of the Damansara International Arts Festival line-up) to the stage. Dance lovers, go ahead and rejoice!
Three choreographers converge for "Creature Trilogy" Since ancient times, a lot of stock has been put into the biomechanics of dance movement. Flexibility, agility, coordination, and even the explosive force that we witness in a dancer when they are in their element is proof of biomechanics at work. Each of us has a different definition of “beauty” when it comes to dance. Some might prefer the fluidity of body movements that conform to biomechanics; some might be partial to the startling movements brought on by a violation of these biomechanics.
“Creature Trilogy” sees the return of three renowned choreographers and dancers, Raziman Sarbini, Pexstret Liu Yong Sean, and Suhaili Micheline from the United States, South Korea, and Australia respectively. Each of them have made names for themselves in their countries of base and in their home of Malaysia. Taking lessons learned abroad, they now hope to combine their unique understanding of biomechanics to derive new pieces of work.
“Creature Trilogy” will first feature the solo works by the choreographers, which is then followed by a collaborative piece from all three of them. This triple bill will see an amalgamation of their differences in biomechanics, experience, country, and style that is sure to exceed audience’s expectations.
Solo Piece
The Other Creatures Choreographed by : Raziman Sarbini Performed by ：Mohammad Khairi Mokthar, Fauzi Amirudin, Kishore Krishnan, Mohamad Azizi Bin Mansor, Ng Xinying
The Other Creatures is a contemporary dance work. It was premier at NYU Tisch Dance during MFA 2 concert in 2019 and it’s a 15 minutes work. This time, Raziman make it in a longer version. The piece inspired by the Snake and Ladders board game, a classic board game in which we have to roll dice to try and reach the finish point faster than our opponent. The aim of the game is to get to the finish square a quick as possible. The game was popular in the ancient India by name Mokha Patam. It also known in Hindu philosophy as karma and kama or destiny and desire. In 1892 the game was introduced to Victorian England and named snake and ladder board game. The game has also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad. This inspired the choreography and how the metaphor of the game affect to the society that we live in. Some individual believe that karma exist and some don’t. But what Raziman believed that if we do go to people, we will get the same. On top of that, everyone craving to be on the top. Is that mean to have the power to control others or to make world a better place?
Sound of insect is the idea for Raziman to find the vocabulary, as how his body reflect to the sound...
