Olden New Golden Blue (Peter Chin) was commissioned by the CanAsian International Dance Festival with the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts. The work premiered in February 2011 at the Fleck Dance Theater, Harbourfront Center in Toronto; produced by Tribal Crackling Wind (Toronto).
In a new ceremony, five young Cambodians of a pivotal generation embody and synthesize contradictory ways of being in a contemporary Cambodian society of opposing currents. Tradition/experimentation, preservation/evolution, nostalgia/future-focus, spirituality/materialism, and public exhibition/private introspection collide and merge briefly in this new work by Peter Chin, created in collaboration with the Cambodian artists.
My Mother and I, created and performed by Cambodian choreographer Chey Chankethya, will make its world premiere at the Abrons Arts Center during the Season of Cambodia Festival.
