« 光 » [guāng] signifie « lumière » et « 陰 » [yīn] se traduit par « négatif » ou « ombre ». Ensemble, ils forment « 光陰 » [guāngyīn], « temps ». Après avoir passé 15 ans au Canada, Nien Tzu Weng remonte le cours du temps. Ce parcours est crucial; elle doit faire l’expérience de ce qu’elle a manqué dans le passé pour comprendre les raisons l’ayant poussée à quitter en premier lieu. Au final, de la fuite émerge une nouvelle trame narrative.
Dans « {光 (陰 | 影)}之∞ » (Guāng Yīn): The Lightest Dark is Darker Than the Darkest Light, Weng déconstruit les racines culturelles de sa pratique, expérimentant avec une « identité corporelle » liée aux concepts anciens issus du taoïsme. À travers les aspects yin et yang du corps, elle relie les mondes intérieurs et extérieurs, les espaces physiques et virtuels. Le résultat est une performance immersive où danse, gestes, décors évocateurs, robots lumineux et personnages se mêlent dans un riche paysage onirique.

“光” [guāng] means “light” and “陰” [yīn] means “negative” or “shade.” Together, they form “光陰” [guāngyīn], “time.” After 15 years in Canada, Nien Tzu Weng goes back in time. The journey is crucial; she must experience what she missed in the past to understand why she had to leave in the first place. After all, when one escapes, a new narrative takes form.
In “{光 (陰 | 影)}之∞” (Guāng Yīn): The Lightest Dark is Darker Than the Darkest Light, Weng deconstructs the cultural underpinnings of her movement practices, experimenting with a “body identity” connected to ancient Taoist concepts. Through the body’s yin and yang aspects, she bridges inner and outer worlds, physical and virtual spaces. The result is an immersive performance where dance, gestures, memory-igniting scenery, luminous robots, and personas intertwine in a layered dreamscape.
