From the choreographer, Peter Chu: “My time at Perry-Mansfield inspired me to reimagine, restructure, and nurture an existing work initially developed for and commissioned by New Dialect in 2015 –– Two Yous. Newly titled, 4yous plays out the inner dilemma of an aging person as they distrust their perception of reality and struggle with the ability to perform. The mirrored role pushes the physical bounds of movement with sharp, isolated and liquid like energy coupled with interlacing exchanges. Wrestling with the past, a heightened sense of urgency is driven by the inability to control behavioral patterns. An involuntary slip of the mind seduces bewilderment.”
