OPENING PERFORMANCE

OUR STORY

SYNOPSIS

What is the color of a dream?
Yellow.
Why is it yellow?
Because like forsythia flowers, they keep blooming.

We have planted on the stage, the seeds of what will grow into our stories.
Wishing that these tiny seeds we plant today will one day bloom brightly in a bigger world, we quietly whisper to each other on stage.

What color is your dream?

OH! BABY 2025

SYNOPSIS

The body has lost its words,
and silence trembles with desire.
Between misaligned gazes,
loneliness seeps in without a sound.

But then,
a strange, enveloping rhythm,
slowly, ever so slowly,
begins to rebuild emotion.

Oh! baby,
this is not the end,
but a movement that opens the door to new feelings.

A TIME OF CHOICES

SYNOPSIS

National difference
The whole is not greater than the gaps in the fences
Freedom of speech, freedom of choices
Four nationalities 10 different voices
Agreements made and lost in time

A score is a rule, a theme, a line
A score is a mark
A walk in the park
A word to be honoured
Or mocked
Or broken
A score is the truth or merely a token

Rules are for safety rules are for breaking
Hands are for holding
Hearts are for shaking

Light choices
Heavy hearts
It's not a blame game

In 2023, during Adam's visit to Korea to conduct another session of the contact improvisation workshop, is when the idea of the collaborative residency was decided. At KIADA2024, Adam conducted a one week residency, KIADA Kollaborate, as a research phase to establish some foundational improvisational scores. This the process that led up to the final collaborative performance that will be presented on the KIADA2025 stage.
