Schedule

Location

Tramway | Glasgow, SC

Kontemporary Korea is a double bill of contrasting works, introducing one of Korea’s leading choreographers Cheol-in Jeong - who creates virtuosic and emotive works as Melancholy Dance Company - and audience favourite Sung Im Her, offering her high energy and engaging personality to another edition of A Festival of Korean Dance, bringing performances to Tramway for the first time!
Sung Im Her’s 'Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (TiNTiY)' looks at the impact of (social) media on society as it focuses on oversharing, over-saturation and the bombardment of information, reflecting the physiological effects of this on the physical body. The work plays with the fun aspects of challenges, memes, skits and all manner of ‘entertaining content’ that is shared on these platforms, but counters this with the realities behind the facade.
'Flight' by Melancholy Dance Company aims to express the human desire to soar towards goals through leaps and falls. This virtuosic duet portrays the process of overcoming the limits of human capability, which one cannot conquer alone, through a complete flight shared by two individuals.
