SYNOPSIS

Every moment, we make interpretations of various motions and translate (or mistranslate) the meaning of words. Here is one possible reason: VELOCITY.

People fear velocity when it’s high, get bored when it’s neither high nor low, and are complacent when it’s low—we are going to express three different possibilities of ’velocity’ with our movements.

In this work, with a nice tune of the Ajaeng(a seven-stringed instrument used in traditional Korean court music), Modern Table shows a ’dynamic curve’ in its movements, which is its distinctive feature.

Those movements constitute music of the body created from contacts and interactions with the air.

They are very rhythmical, and the dynamics generated by the variation of this rhythm gives the audience some intuition of velocity. The connection of those movements is intriguing and self-inclusive.

You can look forward to this work which decisively goes against the stream.
