Re: Looking at Re:
Gina
A Site-specific Dance Performance (18 May 2013)
RE: Looking at RE: Gina is conceptualized by Elizabeth de
Roza and Melissa Quek. To me, the piece is about forgotten memories, fluidity
of identities and the search of the "self". The following words summed up my impressions of the performance: Blood, Red, Face-to-face, Struggles, Dolls, Nails, Memories, Manipulation, Constructions, Reconstructions, Entrapment, Escape.
I
thoroughly enjoyed the interactive, fun and creative elements in the
performance. I liked the movable set which gave me the feeling of being set in
a maze. At the same time, I felt that I was also one of the dancers in the space as the
movable maze "danced" us around. We had to be alert and keep moving
with the performers and the set. The fluidity of the set and the interactions
within the space created an organic universe in the theatre. The performers
were focused and skillful in executing their inner emotions and physical
actions. The musician did a great job in providing the soundscape which was
filled with tensions and emotions, which developed the action of the piece.
