What has been does not always leave a mark, what continues is not always where you intend to go. Time can destroy many things, especially our memories. Always slowly obscured by inertia… . . As If To Nothing examines the passage of time in the stream of memories. Enter the maze of déjà vu, trapped by our own memories. In every delicate moment, memories seem so close and yet so far. It is slowly swallowed by time. Struggling between remembering and forgetting scattered names, distorted faces, floating time, transforming scenes and familiar plots. What is left inside is emptiness. In this misplaced world, what is real? What is fake? . Coiling, bending, extending, contorting, joining, separating, shifting, freezing, the bodies in As If To Nothing move in relentless flow, embracing realms of fragmentation and uncertainty, set against a moveable set, distortive video projections and live electronic music. . As If To Nothing examines the impermanence of memories with powerful, exquisite choreography by award-winning Tibetan choreographer and Rolex protégé Sang Jijia, brought to life in a flawless, charged performance by Hong Kongs acclaimed City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC). . Acclaimed as the most perfect dancer, Sangs choreography combines extremely intense physical movement and unique rhythm to create psychological tension and anisotropy. As an internationally renowned choreographer, Sang has choreographed and performed for numerous well-known dance companies in Europe and Asia at their invitation. Having won two 2010 Hong Kong Dance Awards (Outstanding Dance Production and Outstanding Achievement in Choreography), the production was also invited to perform in Beijing, Guangzhou, Singapore and Florence. . As If To Nothing is an adrenaline-packed and interactive multimedia work featuring electronic music by Dickson Dee and video design by Adrian Yeung. This tour-de-force returns for another breathtaking journey through a unique stage design led by CCDC dancers and their extremely physical and emotional performance. .
