SoftMachine: Yuya & Rianto

The second of two double bills created by Choy Ka Fai showcases new dance and cutting-edge choreography from Japan and Indonesia, incorporating film and performance. Yuya Tsukahara is the founding member of contact Gonzo, a contemporary dance unit formed in 2006 in Osaka, Japan. As well as the name of the company, contact Gonzo is also a unique dance form creating encounters that teeter on the edge of violence and tenderness. Rianto is a dancer from Banyumas, Indonesia, who specialises in the traditional cross-gender erotic dance of lengger, exploring the tension between traditional and contemporary choreographic practices during the global shift from rural to urban lifestyles.
