Company Introduction
Founded by choreographer-dancer Eun-Me Ahn in February 1988, Eun-Me Ahn Company is active globally, mostly performing in the US and Europe. The New York Times said that Eun-Me Ahn’s dance is comparable to Japan’s butoh. A British critic even called her Asia’s Pina Bausch. Characterized by subtle and special language expressed with the human body, mysterious colors, dynamic energy flowing without unnecessary turns and finally, a touch of humor, Ahn’s dance shows her willingness to go beyond the boundaries of Korean tradition to communicate with the world.
Performance Detail
Let me change your name...
With this title, like an invitation, South-Korean Eun-Me Ahn questions identity and the place of individuals in our modern societies by playing with repetition and contrasts. Between darkness and flashy lights, black and white and bright colors costumes, between a shamanist ritual and fashion show, gravity and humor, the movement imposes itself, repetitive, sometimes hypnotic until trance. In a frantic rhythm, the nine performers – including Eun-Me Ahn herself – exchange costumes as they change skin, as they change gender. They dance until forgetting themselves in the movement to create together one unique body. They fade, blend into the group but yet, they are here with their personality and they state it out loud and clear.
Maybe their name has changed along the way… Maybe not…
What about you ?
