Geomancer

Heralded by the futuristic computer-generated cityscapes that have become a signature feature of his work, Lawrence Lek’s mini-opus Geomancer is less inclined to map the building blocks of the urban architecture of tomorrow than to try and summon up the spirit of our rapidly dawning age - one whose characteristics, Lek implies, include the growing ascendancy of the cultural phenomenon of Sino-Futurism. As the geopolitical axis tilts further to the East, and as once-dominant economic/technological models are cast into doubt, Lek alights on a longstanding tension between the place of the human and the role of the machine, sharpened by contemporary hopes and anxieties around the rise of East Asia, and by speculations that new forms of artificial intelligence, already outperforming mere mortals in matters of automation and aggregation, will challenge us in more creative skills as well.

Li Bai

The dance drama reveals the inner world of poet Li Bai through the conflicting choices and trade-offs he made during key junctures in his life. The drama highlights Li's passion, talent and bold nature, and portrays the struggle between his devotion to contribute to the rule of the country and his wish to retreat and enjoy the beauty of nature. The dance drama "Li Bai" will also bring to life the scenery, dance and music of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), showing typical artistic aesthetics from ancient China.

Two Men

The story of Two Men takes place in a highly theatricalized setting, namely an arched iron cage. Two men fall in love with each other in an all-male world. As their relationship develops, however, it is no longer their own personal matter, but rather a jarring dissonance in this masculine world. The minorities express their needs, but their expression seems so powerless and fragile in comparison with the society at large. Nevertheless, the yearning for ideals in their tender souls never fades.
