About
Amongst the hustle and bustle of the city, past and present collide.
Switchblade Op is an exchange platform that reactivates and reinterprets Malaysian pioneer contemporary dance archives, to preserve history and showcase artistic evolution. In its second edition, Loke Soh Kim’s A World in the City, which was first presented at Komtar Auditorium A in 1994, returns to George Town for its 30-year anniversary as a full-length hour-long dance performance.
Reworked to respond to current contexts with a new lineup of dancers, A World in the City follows a man made voiceless and incapable of controlling his own destiny. He lives in a world where his body and mind are made to obey and follow, where dreams never come true and his survival is all that matters.
It is time to reflect on modern life, to reconsider one’s place under the all-consuming fast-paced urbanisation.
In this world in the city, the frustrations of our everyday reality are laid bare through the human body’s raw movements.
