North Korea - we know the country is led by a violent dictator and we hear reports of starvation and persecution. But what does the country's cultural scene really look like? The question couldn't leave choreographer Eun-Me Ahn. Born in South Korea, she has lived all her life so close to, yet so far from, the neighbouring country to the north. Getting permission to enter the country is almost impossible. But there is the internet! In 'North Korea Dance', Eun-Me Ahn takes a deep dive into the video footage seeping out of the world's most closed country. Military parades, traditional dances, virtuoso acrobatics, village dances and tribute numbers to the country's leaders.
After a hefty concoction of her own world of movement, a colourful, glowing performance universe blossoms where Eun-Me Ahn unabashedly wanders from the stripped-down, austere military to grandly epic explosions - sprinkled with a large portion of humour.<\/p>\n

\"We share the same roots, the same traditions. But because of history and the partition of Korea, things have evolved very differently on each side of the border.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

All citizens are hoping for peace between the two countries. Maybe now is time to try to know each other a little better.\"<\/em><\/p>\n
