Interview: Allen Lam, Choreographer of Hymn of Angelology

The piece centers on… the friendship of two souls. Their encounter and personal stories form the journey that connects many people’s life stories.
Expect movements in the form of… very straightforward language. We both studied the underneath tone of the movements as we communicate through our bodies. They are crossing between contemporary and physical theater.
The poetry in dance lies in… the breathing and rhythm of the movements. The life is not about how strong we hold on to our belief, it happens when we set it free.
Art = faith because… to create art is to inhibit the kind of space eternally. My work is a response, both gracious and obedient, to natural forces as well as ongoing actions around me.
Hymn of Angelology is happening on February 21-22 at the Esplanade Theatre Studio.
