TOHU is an interdisciplinary dance performance whose artistic language is grounded in the intensive interplay of choreography, sculpture, light, and sound. The work unfolds as a visual concert, moving through a circular dramaturgy of dissonance and respite, density and stillness, excess and release. TOHU seeks to identify orders, rhythms, and structures within chaotic unfolding – to carve out moments of respite from sonic, visual, and emotional excess through a personal interpretation of ancient rituals centered on demonstrations of power and noise, alongside local movement structures. The concepts of chaos, excess, violence, glare, and silence served as the starting point for the process. In the radiant and blinding light of reality, the ideas from which the work emerged continued to accumulate and take on private, public, concrete, and aesthetic meanings. This current chapter positions the limits of one’s capacity to contain as its point of origin.
