Performance description:
Beyond Gender (a work in progress) is a butoh-inspired performance that merges structured choreography with spontaneous environmental responses. With musical accompaniment by Tigerland (Armaan Tagore), interwoven with the resonant frequencies of a live guitar and dynamic layering from Ableton Live, the piece transforms the physical space into a site of reflection as the performance explores gender.
本作品是一部深受「舞踏」（butoh）啟發的身體表演。作品將結構化的編舞與對環境的即興身體回應相融合。在 Tigerland（Armaan Tagore）的音樂伴奏下，現場吉他的共鳴頻率與來自 Ableton Live 的動態音層相互交織，隨著表演對「性別」議題的深入探索，將實體空間轉化為一個充滿思辨與反思的場域。
