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 contratsts.
Between darkness and flashy lights, black and white and bright colors costumes, between shamanist ritual and fashion show, gravity and humor, the movement imposes itself, repetitive, sometimes hypnotic until transe.
In a frantic rythm, 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 personnality and they state it out loud and clear.

Ahn, Eun-Me
Korean globetrotter; avant-garde figure and choreographer of the highly official football World Cup opening ceremony in Deagu in 2002; perfomer at the greatest international festivals: Eun-Me Ahn cultivates beauty of contrast, combines dots, strips and flowers, oscillates from the most acid colour to the most solemn austerity, plays on androgeny's subtlest nuances and experiments with slowness to truly shatter the rhythms of trance.
Eun-Me Ahn is a performer who is prepared to risk everything and commit artistic piracy. Thus we have seen her throw herself off a crane, attack a piano with scissors and an axe, rip up her own fairy-dress made out of white ties and handing out the tatters to the audience, all while performing the Bear's Dance that is straight out of a fairytale. However, it would be wrong to think of this simply as provocation. This is more about the affimation of a curiosity and freedom engendered by work and style, pushed to their most unexpected limits.
Eun-Me Ahn began her traditional Korean dance training at the age of twelve. In 1989 she finished her studies at the E-Wha University for Women in Seoul, where she received a degree in both Art and Visual Arts. After graduating, she joined the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in New York in 1994.
From 1986 to 1992, Eun-Me Ahn was a member of the Korean Modern Dance Company and the Korean Contemporary Dance Company in Seoul. From 1986 to 1993 she developed her choreography work in Korea. During her time in New York, she continued her work as a choreographer: for five seasons from 1995 to 1999, she achieved great success with several long pieces, which received both public and critical acclaim. Eun-Me Ahn is particularly well recognised for her powerful, moving images. She is also considered the Korean representative for Japanese Butoh dance.
