1 Degree Celsius questions the capacity of art to inspire action in the face of the environmental crisis. On stage, seven dancers move with surgical precision to convey the impact of climate change on our bodies and our identities. The piece offers a unique sensory immersion: the musical score was created from real data on the rising of atmospheric temperatures, while the light is coordinated in real time with the earth's increasing heat. Sung Im Her confronts us concretely with the sustainability of our urban lifestyles and with our responsibilities.
The work of Sung Im Her is distinguished by a constant balance between a clean, refined aesthetic and a powerful narrative. Her style is defined by a raw, geometric gestural vocabulary, arising from research into the very essence of movement, freed from any prior cultural meaning. Behind this apparent abstraction, the choreographer explores burning societal themes.
