ABOUT THE SHOW
Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (TiNTiY) looks at the impact of (social) media on society as it focuses on oversharing, over-saturation and the bombardment of information. Performed to a club-like soundtrack, three dancers perform overly produced gestures, reflecting the physiological effects of the blurring of individual and collective identities on the physical body.
Playing with the use of memes, skits and “entertaining content” shared on social media platforms, we witness the darker undertones and realities behind the façade. TiNTiY reflects the multitude of opinions, alternative truths, conspiracy theories and “information” that help create confusion, anxiety and perpetuate unease and precarity faced in society.
Co-Commissioned by Seoul Performing Arts Festival (SPAF) (KR) & The Place (UK).
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Born in South Korea, the award-winning artist Sung Im Her has worked across Korea and Belgium with many prestigious companies including Ji-Gu Dance Theater, Les ballets C de la B, Needcompany, Abattoir Fermé, Opéra de Lille and many more. Since settling in the U.K, Her has premiered many of her own works including, You Are Okay! (2017), Human Wall (2018), Nutcrusher (2019), W.A.Y (2019), Time in between time (2020) and most recently Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (2024). Her has been named one of the top ten “stage sensations to watch out for in 2023” by the Guardian newspaper. As a choreographer, she explores the essence of movements, unburdened by cultural or personal meaning. This leads to a minimalist, raw style of movement with strict, geometrical choreography that are based on iteration. As a narrator, Her focusses on controversial topics like migration, discrimination, sexual violence, etc.
