ABOUT THE SHOW
Face to Face
Choreographed by Naishi Wang
In an effective conversation the following elements are involved: changes in facial expression and tone, body movements and gestures – all expressed in a “face-to-face” manner. But what about online? Are you really going to kiss me when you send a kiss emoji?
Face to Face is a conceptual dance/body theatre duet created and performed by Naishi Wang with Lukas Malkowski. Exploring the complexity of human emotions in real space by looking at emoji characters in cyber reality, the work seeks to find connections through nonverbal forms of communication.
Run time is approximately 60 minutes.
