The duet-“Casual Casual Casualty”, is one of the distinct storylines happened in the no.216 apartment.

The Passing
At the intersection, everything comes and goes; while the time carries the past and keeps walking toward the future, things bump into each other, like the moment we meet. Let’s breathe together for a while here, and then we pass, go through the arcade into our own future.

Ice Age - Experiment I
Chung An was inspired by the recently global anxiety, fear and many social issues happened by the covid outbreak. The choreographer will use the occurrence and evolution of the Ice Age to metaphor all beings in the force of drastic environmental changes. People lose control because of fear, and the entire social system becomes vulnerable. The needs and voices of people in the middle and lower strata under the social structure of different classes are even more disregarded in the situation.
Between destruction and rebirth, there’s full of unknowns and fears. The meaning and value of life deserve our deep consideration and rethink.
This short piece would be the part of the whole choreography.

Joyland
Every life is an unique exist. Every life is meaningful in its own way. Life is a journey about exploring oneself and finding who you truly are. Is recognizing one’s own destiny equals to accepting the unpleasant situation in one’s life? There are ups and downs along with persecution and pain in life. When it comes to recognizing one’s own destiny, it is more like truly being in the deep down in one’s mind and knowing who you really are rather than suppress one’s will. ‘Joyland’ is inspired by thoughts of women. Discussing thoughts of traditional woman inclined to suppress oneself and tries to analyze those thoughts through the sights of contemporary woman.
