Lights/9 is set in an industrial type space, as a collaboration with Franz Betz, a light artist from Hanover, Germany. This improv-based piece interwines movement and light with space and time; accented by Chromabeat's live accompanying music.The program also features the return of Vicissitudes by Ginny Ching-Yin Lo, premiered in fall, 2021 at C5 with music composed by Chromabeats. Vicissitudes is an expression on how to retain joy while coping with stress by having the supportive web of human connection.
As reviewed in See Chicago Dance: What is impressive is the diversity in Lo's choreography. Despite the entire show being composed by a single artist, each piece felt fresh and exciting.
