After the explosion, our experience is accumulated with time.
We explore the bittersweet moments of life. As we gaze up at the ridges, a gust of mountainous breeze brushes our faces.
Your voice and my voice are interlaced and overlaid at the instance when all eyes are fixed upon the stage.
You will be identified.
Choreographer Bulareyaung Pagarlava guides the audience through youthful restlessness. Strong egos will gradually dissolve in interpersonal relationship networks. Imitation, connection, competition, and cooperation. Mental growth implies to not focus on oneself, but to move on to the next stage, to know how to feel and think, and to relate to others and the environment. tiaen tiamen are tightly entwined by the thread of life, probing into the core of the concentric circle.
In tiaen tiamen Episode 2, music director ABAO uses music as a bridge to connect the past and the future. Music can mend and tighten broken chains through interlacing and overlaying the old and the new, resulting in a new sound that includes both you and me. Graphic designer reretan pavavaljung contrasts and brings out different hierarchical relationships on stage via images that serve as metaphors for one’s connections with others and with life, including push-pulls, interactions, and pursuits. One never breaks away.
Dancers are both path seekers and guides. They challenge themselves by trying out various relationship interpretations that they have not attempted before, including duets, trios, or even more complicated choreographic structures. This is because the leader in a group is often not the one that jumps out and dashes forward. A true decision maker is one who quietly retains a clear face despite being surrounded by complicated external relationships. They are always identifiable.
