About WHIRLING LADDER | BETWEEN

Created by the Kurt Jooss Prize-winning choreographers and dancers Chun Zhang and Kai Strathmann, with videographer Maurits Boettger. It not only shows the compelling interaction of human bodies, but also the indissoluble connection between body and space-time and ultimately between dance and viewer, by interweaving the principles of the Chinese martial art Wing Chun and the geometry of DNA, paired with artistic precision. Presented by two dancers with 7,000 steps on four square meters within 50 minutes, it extracts the modern inter-human relationship and movements especially under the lenses of the pandemic.
