Wang Yeu-Kwn / Shimmering Production - Islands

A counterbalance between two islands – the legend of a fisherman seeking his true self

On a quest to unearth the legend of his own name, Wang Yeu-Kwn sets sail for the southeastern island nations, engaging Indonesian dancer Danang Pamungkas in a dialogue through physical and lived experiences.

Together, they explore the weight of bodies anchored to land and air. Here, identity, like the shifting shores, ebbs and flows with the tides. From solitary striving to kindred companionship, this drifting journey allows us to glimpse the island’s strength. The island carries its people with a delicate balance of gentleness and resilience. Perhaps, only when we venture beyond the island do we begin to truly know ourselves.
