“Rehearse…perform…rehearse…perform… It is my life, my happiness, my worries, my community, and my solitude. I am 40 years old. No longer a young, agile, dancer. Is my body aging or my skill maturing? Should I abandon this “youthful work”? I don’t know. But the stage, the studio, the dressing room--I am infatuated with every part. I chose to persevere. After all, dance to me is not an exhausted body but a rejuvenated soul”
Straying from their previous works that focus on profound motifs, Li Hanzhong and Ma Bo delve into the personal: 20-years of dancing. They present dancer’s natural state both on and off stage. In their latest Rehearsal and Performance: At Odds Li and Ma seamlessly fluctuate between reality and imagination. Using their characteristic sleek and powerful movements to tell their story -- the only story they truly know -- the story of dancers, choreographers, athletes, artists and performers.
