Living, Loving, and departing is part of the puzzle that
never absent from the journey of lives. Time and again, we are surrounded by
people and matters from all walks of lives, come and go. There is love
encounters that we could have seized and savored, there is entanglements we
wish we could have escaped from. If only we could have garnered the courage to
persist, we choose to forget instead.
We shun away from bidding farewell, we are frightened, even
terrified in the presence of uncertainties, and the unknown consequences.
Still, is bygone e easily forgotten, and disappeared? Whilst looking back, how
shall we confront our buried memories?
The Light of Dust is carrying this message: Gone Not
Forgotten, Lingering Perhaps. As Airborne Dust, Unseen in Darkness, Yet in a
Beam of Light, Like Stardust Glows.
#塵光，是嶄新的製作團隊《戲•施工作室 #SeeProductionStudio》和本地有號稱情色導演的楊國忠 Charles Jong 首部携手合作的原創作品。初期靈感源自於這本大潘《#111封寄不出去的情書》及李泰祥《告別》這首歌，但導演更希望把這個關於《生命、愛與告別》的作品透過和演員的集體創作，綜合肢體、聲音、詩賦及多媒體，以更多元的創作手法把過去、當下、未來的一切如光影般在舞臺上呈現給觀衆
The Light of Dust is a brand-new collaboration of production
team from See Production Studio and Charles Jong, or flamboyantly known as the
erotic theater director, where the original creative inspiration is from the
published “111 Love Letters To Heaven” by Activist/ Writer DaPan, as well as
the song “Farewell” by the late TaiXiang Lee, influencing the mood of the play.
The play then evolves and taking shape in the direction of life, love and
bidding farewell, with collaborative creative input from the casts.
Incorporating fluidity of physical movements, voice, poetry, visual media and
lights, these multi-dimensional creativity means weaving the past, present and
future, are to be presented to the audience on stage.

In Puppets, Rosolen takes us to the periphery of choreography in order to reinterpret a key image of dance. In many epochs and cultures, e.g. in romantic ballet and in classical Javanese dance, the puppet’s movements have been seen as a kind of ideal dance. Now, Rosolen puts an astonishing twist on this relationship between puppets and dancers. Instead of focusing on the movements of the puppets, she concentrates on those of the puppeteers. What kind of dances usually escapes our attention? What kind of choreographic patterns emerge from the joint handling of a puppet? By exploring an art form foreign to dance – i.e. puppet theater – Rosolen develops a new perspective on dance and the perception thereof.
PRESENTER
In 2015, Paula Rosolen founded the company Haptic Hide as a production structure for her artistic projects. The company is based in Frankfurt am Main and works internationally in collaboration with theaters in European, South American and Asian countries in particular, such as Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt am Main and Théâtre de la Ville in Paris. In addition to this, Haptic Hide collaborates with a range of different foundations and institutions, including the Goethe-Institut.

DPAC Arts Festival 2017: André & Dorine
Presented by Kulunka Theatre Company (Spain)
In a small room where memories hung over the walls, sound the keys of a typewriter and the notes of a cello. They are André and Dorine, an elderly couple that lives just like many old couples do: gently decaying from routine and neglect, with passion once so huge for each other now fading into indifference. But an event occurs to break the monotony, and so begins a fresh start in their relationship; a journey through memory. The couple needs to remember who they were, so as not to forget who they are now. Remember how they loved in order to keep loving each other.
PRESENTER
The Kulunka Theatre Company was created in The Basque Country, Spain, in 2010 by Garbiñe Insausti and Jose Dault: young but widely experienced theater career artists. It all stemmed from the concern of its members to experiment with different possible stage languages, relying on a stage that is itself a meeting point between different artistic disciplines. All this without forgetting the idea of making theatre accessible to the wide public. An idea of theatre that is vibrant, contemporary, committed and connected to reality.

Presented by Zamzuriah Zahari (Malaysia)
A story of the fragments in a life’s journey between the traditional and the modern world. In the arts and Islamic sections, in the cradle of dreams and reality, amidst angst and calmness. A woman performs the tradional art of the Eastern Mak Yong {Kelantan} which ripples with the Northern Mek Mulung {Kedah} as she sings the Mak Yong of the Riau Islands. The woman moves and laments of being loved and being praised, being flattered upon by beauty, the struggles of adoring being adored and in stumbling within.
SECTION BY STATION is about the pauses and stops a woman faces in her journey of caprices of life.
PRESENTER
Zamzuriah Zahari graduated with a Diploma in Dance from ASWARA and Bachelor of Performing Arts (Drama) from the University of Malaya. Throughout her involvement in the arts, she has been heavily involved in performances in and out of the state as a choreographer, dancer, actress and singer. Zamzuriah is considered one of the foremost young experts who has revived the legacy of traditional Malay dance and theatre (that has become extinct in Kelantan) through her own research and practical results. Her expertise can be seen especially in the styles of Tarian Tari Inai, Mak Yong Kelantan, Kedah, Mek Mulung Kedah and Mak Yong Riau. Zamzuriah is most proud of one awarded her by the National Arts Award 2006 (Young Talent – Dancer).

Supported by Rimbun Dahan
“Dancing in Place” is a celebration of dance on site, originally presented at Rimbun Dahan, and it is now at DPAC and its vicinity. The module invites dance artists, both local and international, to create works outside the traditional theatre setting. The second edition of the city site remains as a dialogue between dance and architecture. Participating dance artists create short works in response to a particular site, inspired by its architecture or design. From an industrial walkway to a decorative staircase, audiences are taken out of the theatre to observe the conversation between dance and the environment.
