Unfortunately, it contains no music.” - Maurice Ravel

Kim Yong-geol’s , the elaboration of choreography dealing with beats & the crescendo of the original
choreographed by Kim Yong-geol is composed of over 20 phrases, with combinations of various movements over the base of classical ballet. This piece is impressive of the large-scale group dance compared to the other two, and explodes with a curious energy through the four repeated rhythms of the original music, maximizing the harmony in the configuration and reconstruction of movements. After the premier in 2016, this performance of shows further details of movements and elaboration of group dance, along with a live orchestra performance of 85 players from Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra and 37 dancers, building the organizational quality of the large-scale work.

Kim Seoljin’s , the texture of mutants and breakaways
In choreographer’s note, Kim Seoljin says, “Music is no longer numbers to me. I’m no longer interested in analyzing the form and time. I’m curious of the textures that love, the character, or the situation has, and I’m more interested in how I can develop them onto the stage. I didn’t want to force any social idea or philosophical message into it, either.” He casts a question to the audience, “Wouldn’t deconstructing and tearing down Bolero be really making Bolero?”
Jeong Jong-im and Choi Hye-won of LIVETOTHE;, who are in charge of music, are preparing the music by collecting sounds from everyday life and expanding them into the rhythm of Bolero, in order to rebuild Bolero from its deconstruction. Dancers from the company ‘Mover’, where Kim Seoljin is the director, bring up the quality of the stage.

Kim Bo-ram’s , Bolero of deconstruction and reassembly
Choreographer Kim Bo-ram approaches the human “origin of expressions” through this piece. For this, he rules out any typical interpretation of the music, decomposing and reassembling the melodies and rhythms unique to ‘Bolero’. Through the ‘Bolero’ transformed by Park Yong-bin, participating in the rearrangement of the music, dancers focus their bodies to the music and bring out their interior movements to complete . On the borders of deconstructed rhythms played by Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra, the dancers of ‘Ambiguous Dance Company’ led by Kim Bo-ram present a spectacular stage.
