Solo Piece No.1

Solitude. Surveillance. Freedom.

Set in an alternate future, the performance centers on a man, isolated in a room, under the gaze of an unseen observer. Through athletic choreography, pulsating music, a mysterious soliloquy, and a never-ending video loop, this live show explores the freedom to project one’s inner world into reality. Solo Piece No.1 invites the audience to find beauty and sensuality amid oppression and despair, urging a deeper exploration of grace within harsh realities, while also searching for alternative future worlds. Its hero - and the piece itself - seeks to carve out a space for imagination and love.
