Description
“When different individuals cross each other’s path, there results a connection. The question then becomes whether or not the connection is a true one.” — Ivanhoe Lam
ODD COUPLINGS is a performance by the Hong Kong-based choreographer Ivanhoe Lam in collaboration with Swiss scenographer Barbra Pfyffer. It is the product of his three months residency with the City of Zurich Artist-in-Residence Programme, during which time he has built relationships and collaborations with a number of artists.
The performance weaves together a patchwork of small vignettes of these collaborations into an unlikely narrative, one that creates, by a process of delicate layering of small fragments, an intimate look into these encounters during his stay in Switzerland.
