“Organised Chaosis” borne of an ongoing conversation between artistic director Swee Boon KUIK and resident Korean choreographer Jae Duk KIM on the universal human condition, a response to global current affairs in an increasingly absurd, chaotic world.Working apart at first, each choreographer casts a critical eye on the social norms that dictate human behaviour, tearing apart all that appears logical and rational in order to forge their own interpretation in dance.
