Dance Performance | Live Electroacoustic Music & Contemporary Dance 


Enjoy live performances from two artists: Bézier and Yeonju Ha. Electronic sound artist band Bézier will perform Access, an electroacoustic music–based sound performance that explores the technical and ontological meanings of the act of “access.” Through tactile–auditory transference using conductive objects, the detection of invisible signals via radio and noise, and spatial experiences created with multichannel speakers and lights, its five parts sensorially reconstruct moments in which reality and the virtual intersect. Access uses sound not as a mere background but as a medium for shaping a nonlinear terrain of time and sensation, inviting the audience to experience “reconnecting with the world” through listening. Contemporary dancer and choreographer Yeonju Ha will perform Vertebra, a work that focuses not on a perfected shape but on the fragile and persistent process of holding, collapsing, and rebuilding the body. Through these continual shifts, the piece reveals how instability itself can be a place of truth and resilience. The objects that appear onstage are closely connected to the dancer’s own body. They evoke fragments of structure, weight, and balance, functioning as extensions of the physical self. These objects create an additional layer of sensation, guiding viewers toward a deeper awareness of how the body remembers, adapts, and reassembles itself.

Dance Performance | Contemporary Movement Dance & Artistic Performance


Experience two performances by artists Shin's People and NOLPLUS. The Shin's People dance performance Boisterous Bodies reinterprets the vibrant atmosphere and sensory character of Korean traditional markets through a contemporary movement language. From ajummas squatting beside large basins, to hands swiftly sorting goods on narrow stands, to the rhythmic call of “Golla-golla!” and the lively motions of the yeot seller, familiar market actions are transformed into new choreographic textures. The performers shape the market’s bustling warmth and collective energy into movement, exploring how the everyday bodies of today might become the embodied traditions of tomorrow. Through this process, familiar gestures become dance, and the breath of daily life is reborn onstage. NOLPLUS performance group's Yeonhee Gyeong piece visualizes the very process of imagination and creation, exploring the point where the temporality of tradition meets contemporary artistic vision. Drawing on the cyclical sense of time within traditional yeonhee (Korean folk performance) and its structure of ritual and play, the piece expresses the flow of time through rhythm and movement. The stage is built upon the archetypal structure of traditional performance, presenting a yeonhee world that traverses the four seasons and culminates in a transcendent fifth season.”
