Life three step : camel
Nietzsche said in Zarathustra that life is divided into three stages, the camel, the lion and the baby. Now we are just a camel. Society has softened the edges of our personalities to the extent that opinions and individuality aren't welcomed. Tied with a rubber band that seems to be very elastic but in fact, we cannot let go. Do you dare to say no to "you should"! ? Freedom has become a luxury and delusion for us. Over time, many people will take "you should" as "I want". When we are used to being dominated by authority, we have long forgotten what freedom is and become not what we want. The pain felt by the audience is one that we all share to this day - this is the world in which we all live.

Room 10279
The story sets in a dark, forlorn and closed room where a girl is trapped and suppressed by an invisible force.
The outright display of domination and subjection unveils the relationship between power and freedom.

<Ｍutual>2.0 Overture
Humans are the nature ,
we are born from the nature.
Connected to the energy of the universe,
the energy of the Earth.
We gather for survival.
Different individuals,
related, yet diverse
Balanced through one tacit linkage.
Life is a form of presentation,
but always remember who you are.

Epilogue
Epilogue is a crystallised solo work exploring different processes and aesthetics to create a new language for a solo dancer. At the intersection of this collaboration is a hypnotic show where modernity and tradition interact in perfect harmony. Epilogue is at once a deconstruction of and a meditation on, classicism and the role that beauty has played in the shaping of the Western canon.

A journey to her voice
A journey to her voice is a passage. It is also a stop in the journey where she does not know if she is walking forward or backward, if she is coming or going. A woman that seeks, finds and discards, almost at the same time. Beyond the classic search for an identity, what does not remain, becomes the essential. This way, she does not cling to anything.

Strieas
The piece deals with the tension between the opposites.
Today and every day, we will experience the rainbow between our bubble and the plethora of distractions.
Between what we have been taught to be and what we have taught ourselves.
Between what we are afraid of and what we overcome.
Between a feminine feeling and a masculine feeling.
Between innocence and sexuality.
Between seriousness and frivolity.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow we will know that the testimony is a sign of scars and decorations of stretch.

The great-man
"Father goes into a room."If the Korean Spacing of this sentence were to be modified, the meaning then turns into "Father goes into a bag". This parody underpins the work.Thinking of the incredible strength and devotion of the beloved fathers - on whom we rely so strongly - this work is completed through interpreting the heaviness and lightness borne in their lives.

Deep in the night is an empty corner where a figure in solitude and disorientation in thoughts were left into shadows. Insulating from all else, what is left to remain? I - myself -become every right and wrong.

Chaos
Originally “Yin Yun” depicts the hazy flow of smokes. The indefinite suspension and faint chaos are reminiscent of that retaining feeling felt after turbulent experiences. It is in the chaos where true aspects of all are obscured.
Through the intertwining relations among the physicals, body and other media in the dynamic theatrical environment, the work addresses the fluid and constant changes in this world. Yet in this unretainable ephemerality resides people's permanent memories, like particles afloat left by the smoke.
