Here's how Daniel's describes 狈贸尘补诲补蝉 on his :
苍贸尘补诲补蝉 is a live performance as well as an audio/video installation. It takes its inspiration from the current large-scale movements of bodies across international spaces as a type of chaotic transnational choreography. The work is part of the larger, long term Contemporary Nomads research project, which explores 鈥渢he deep fragmentation that exists between communities within as well as outside national borders, between nationalized and personalized bodies, and between social and political institutions and the ordinary people they were meant to serve鈥� (Daniel, 2017).
狈贸尘补诲补蝉 was originally presented at the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts from November 22 to December 02, 2017, supported by the Iris Garland Visiting Choreographer Fund and the KRT Wasitodipuro Fellowship Fund, and featured collaborative work of guest artists (Music), (Media Design), and (Set Design).
