Lil' Dragon, as a metaphor of the world, a state or an experience?

How would you connect an aging ballet star from Cambodia, a hip-hop dancer and a group of children? Perhaps a slightly unusual synopsis gets inspiration from the heterogeneity of cultures and the intimate experience of cultures acquired by the creators of the performance. It establishes a constantly moving environment, rethinking the merge of different artistic disciplines (urban dance, contemporary writing, sculpture) supported by new technologies. Eric Mihn Cuong Castaing is challenging us to question our ways of consuming, perception, time-space relation, by taking us through a visual performance with changing and multiplying images. With a radical gesture he manages to connect multiple spaces and to shake our gaze.

Fifteen children from Ljubljana will also be exploring new worlds and creating under the mentorship of international artists.

Eric Mihn Cuong Castaing, the author of the performance Lil' Dragon, continues his research of the relationship between the body and the image, inscribed within video projections, sound, infrared camera and video mapping.
