VOID explores the quality of emptiness from which the Ankoku Butoh dance is generated. Evoked through this emptiness is the contradictory nature of the Ostrich bird in it's desert landscape. A Bird with dark red meat, a symbol of water that survives in arid landscapes, a bird with wings that cannot fly.

If our souls were the windows of civilisation, what would they reveal? In VOID, choreographer Boi Sakti confronts the moral decay and hypocrisy engulfing society and calls into question the very meaning of ‘civilisation’. The soul is wounded. Conscience has fallen into a black hole. Principle and reason have given way to greed and falsities.There is a tragic loss of humanity despite claims of greater openness in a civilised world. This affecting and insightful work examines these distortions and seeks to contextualise them. The world premiere is performed by T.H.E Dance Company led by artistic director Kuik Swee Boon, and features award-winning sound designer Darren Ng. At once powerful and poetic, VOID throws the windows wide open and compels you to face what is really there.

These images were captured at a full dress rehearsal in the Esplanade Theatre Studio on the 21st October 2009.
