Zébrures - Post-Orientalist Express

Dance - A piece for 9 performers, premiered at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul

An encounter with Asia, in a joyful explosion of colors!

Both Korean and cosmopolitan, Eun-Me Ahn—a leading figure of the avant-garde invited to the world’s greatest

international festivals— —Seoul’s “enfant terrible”—“cultivates her cultural heritage as much as her New York training and continues her crusade against Orientalist clichés.” She explores what drives Asian youth today: legends, fashion trends, pop culture, and dance styles are pushed to the point of absurdity to reveal their contradictions. Beyond the dichotomy of tradition versus modernity lies the possibility of redefining cultural identity. A dazzling performance led by the leading figure of the Asian dance scene.
