Jung in Lee Creation: As Above, So Below

"As Above, So Below" was inspired by the Korean game "Silteuki" - also known as "Cat's Cradle". Here, thread shapes are exchanged between the players with the fingers.

The basic concept of this project is space and time. In addition, the fundamental meaning of life and fate, from a cosmological perspective, should also be included. The movement should not be developed and controlled by the body, but rather result from the spatial composition created by "elastic bands". Some of these moments of movement try to escape the eternal cycle of life, but they naturally return to their place. This creates an infinite number of scenes of the flow of time. This idea develops new movements, designed by the different structures, which in turn are created by ribbons and lines - under a universe-like composition, similar to a spider web. In doing so, they unravel the laws of life and the cycle of nature by means of the flow of energy in which we live. With this project, Jung In Lee connects the Korean culture with that of Austria. Through these ideas and influences, the performance and thus also the audience deals with these cultures, the meaning of life and fate and the cycle of life. This creates a unique one
