North Korea Dance by Eun-Me Ahn

On December 8th, YPAM showcases North Korea Dance, a work from 2018, at the time Eun-Me Ahn, the famous South Korean choregrapher, became an associated artiste of the Théâtre de la Ville de Paris. She created her choregraphy considering the customs of neighbouring North Korea. While moves from public ceremonies, or famous soldier footsteps are part of the show, it is a bridge between the two countries, but also a remembrance of potentially phasing out South Korean traditions – indeed, the isolation of Pyeongyang also accounts for holding to the past. It will be a premiere in Japan, and a very exciting show from YPAM.
(Not to miss either, from December 5 to 7, the auto-choreo-biographical Jerome Bel , interpreted by Takao Kawaguchi).
