It’s hard to believe how much has unfolded since we first brought 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴 to life in 2018, followed by an incredible five-city tour across Europe in 2019. While the world has gone through rapid changes over the years, the work’s exploration of fluid identity and the search for a deep, inherent sense of belonging feels more timely than ever.

These photos take us back to some indelible moments from the premiere and tour. This November, we’re excited to return with a fresh infusion of energy from Chang En, Haruka, and Han-Wei—each performing this work for the first time.

Early bird tickets are available for just 9 more days, until 15 September, and with allocated seating, be sure to book yours soon! 🎟️

Elusive — a double bill by T.H.E Dance Company, as part of cont·act Contemporary Dance Festival 🌊🔸

We premiered 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 by resident choreographer Kim Jae Duk (South Korea/Singapore) and 𝘔𝘈𝘓𝘌𝘉𝘙𝘈𝘕𝘊𝘏𝘌 — 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦 by guest choreographer Ginevra Panzetti (Italy/Germany) to a >500-strong crowd this past weekend!

Two seemingly opposite works — one of sweeping limbs and downcast eyes, the other of precise gestures and stretched faces — came together in pertinent observation of human nature, and our world at present. And if the rapturous applause across all 3 nights were anything to go by, the show resonated with all of you too.

Thank you to all of you who joined us for this world premiere, and for letting these works come to life in these 3 evenings. A huge thank you to our production, artistic, and administrative teams too for the tireless work in making it all happen, and to our partners for the support. 💙💛

We have 2 more shows for Elusive happening tonight and tomorrow, at 8:30PM and 7:30PM respectively. Grab your tickets if you haven’t already — it’s worth it we promise!
