Description: Ice Age is a new international inclusive choreographic collaboration between visually impaired choreographer CHANG Chung-an and disabled choreographer Maylis ARRABIT. The piece explores the different ways that people support each other under the pandemic, each in their own cultural environments. It is a question of evoking the coexistence between two parallel realities, separated by "space-time" and at the same time, united by it. Then, an action, a gesture and contemplation are very meaningful.
