RIDE THE BEAT
A fast era and an oppressed body.
Under the impact of Covid-19, where everyone has been subject to various legal restrictions and forced to change lifestyle, the limitations and suppression of our body have reached another level: when the distance between people becomes a kind of tension, when we are in a same space day after day during the confinement, when physical contact with others brings fear...our action is no longer free, all behaviors are magnified and examined.
You/I/We are all experiencing "the body under the epidemic", how shall we pay more attention to the close relationship between the body and the mental state at this moment.
《Ride the Beat》based on the limitations of the body in the tangible space, imagining using music, vocals, percussion and other penetrat elements to break through the limitations of space, cross the physical boundaries, and allow the spirit to escape, some rooms for liberation, where we let go of ourselves, unleash our energy, and gasping for air together.
