With a table, two chairs and a white floor, Chinese dancer-choreographer Gu Jiani interprets the context of daily life and explores the delicate nature of human relationships in her piece Right & Left, which was staged at the Inside-Out Theater in Beijing over the weekend.
With this work, she will kick off a tour of the United States from Thursday to June 22, performing at the San Francisco International Arts Festival and the Seattle International Dance Festival, and in Los Angeles and New York.
Right & Left was staged at the University of Michigan and Hong Kong Arts Festival in 2015 and 2016. Gu and contemporary dancer Li Nan paired up for the performances.
