"I really appreciated her use of sound and lighting in this work, they go well with the subtle yet strong repetitive gestures of the dancer, creating a dark and mythical atmosphere that is pretty impressive."

《The 16th Day》 was inspired by the book called “Sleep” which written by Haruki Murakami. The special lighting and sound effects activate a dialogue between the work and its audience into the world of insomnia.
The choreographer abandons traditional moves and tries to create a new form of beauty, a unison of mind and body, an unconventional move, which started from the vellication of head. It is not only a personal story but it also questions about in what way the society affects our personal values and how to break with the traditional meaning of “beauty”.
