Choreotraphy disappears. Choreography remains. Body, Archive, present 40 years of moments, reanimated.

In this place where time accumulates in layered folds amid a quiet beauty, the artists—gathered along their distinct cultural trajectories—embrace Nakseonjae as a site of embodied memory and give rise to a language of movement. Here, a narrative of artistic exchange unfolds, one that moves beyond borders.

A place where accumulated gestures of tradition blossom through a contemporary sensibility. Here, tradition does not remain in the past; it becomes a question directed at the present and a foundation upon which the future is imagined. The dancers’ movements, carried within a fluid contemporary vessel, reframe traditional aesthetics and unfold a narrative of artistic exchange that traverses time and space.

Body Writing explores the body as a site where time, memory, and change are continuously inscribed. As dancers and theater space respond to one another, movement evolves through shifting limits and renewed possibilities. The work invites audiences to encounter a body that is no longer the same—yet newly awakened to the present.

Emotions, memories, and movements intersect in parallel, transcending time and space. There exists a pure body and movement that does not overtly point to anything. The work begins by searching for the external events that have been triggered—or the emotions and affects they have produced. Through this process, the body and its movement never remain in a single state; they continue to transform.
