SAINT, 10min., USA, Fashion
Directed by Yi – Han Audrey Chou
Saint seeks to present a process of evolution that is about spiritual change, technology, and identity of a human being. Through the transformation in 3 layers of clothings, which represent the past, present, and future in time, the identity of the dancer was exposed through the generating and regenerating of visual and movement languages; a 15 mins dance performance with a storyline will be made to present the story of this process, leading the audience to search their personal identity and questioning about the direction of the world through presentations of movement and visual language while observing the change that is happening during the performance.
