\u201cHow many falls are beyond our ability to catch?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Directed by Tang-Cheng Liu and choreographed by Yi-Wen,Cheng.<\/p>\n

The House<\/strong> is Lei Dance Theater\u2019s first dance-theatre work to confront the phenomenon of lonely death\u2014a condition unfolding in unseen time and space, without witnesses.<\/p>\n

What remains are traces left behind\u2014fragments of warmth held within memory, perhaps serving as keys to the possibility of reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Saying goodbye has never been simple.
\nIf we could truly say farewell, might it lessen regret and trauma?<\/p>\n

Since 2019, Lei Dance Theater has been developing immersive theatre practices.
\nIn 2020, the company was invited to the Taoyuan Iron Rose Festival with the immersive production Accomplice Online 2.0<\/em>, continuing its engagement with contemporary social issues in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Building upon this trajectory, director Tang-Cheng Liu extends his ongoing exploration of indifference and silent violence, collaborating with guest choreographer Cheng Yi-Wen to examine life and death as a shared human condition.<\/p>\n

As social connection becomes increasingly accessible in contemporary society, how is it that we, as inherently social beings, continue to lose contact with one another?<\/p>\n

\n

The House \u2014 a house left behind.<\/p>\n

Before what remains,
\nhow many falls were we unable to catch?<\/p>\n

If our hands could hold one another a little tighter,
\nmight there be less regret?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

The House addresses the rupture of social networks in contemporary society.
\nApproaching the issue of \u201clonely death\u201d from multiple social perspectives,
\nthe director and choreographer engaged in extensive reading and debate with the performers throughout the creation process.<\/p>\n

Through collective improvisation, ideas were allowed to move freely\u2014
\nmeeting, colliding, and holding one another\u2014
\nresulting in a work charged with a vital sense of tension and lived intensity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
