Philosopher Francois Laruelle coined the term “radical immanence” as a counter to the idea of transcendence, demanding that we rethink the categories with which we think, and reformulate the methodologies we use to interpret reality. As a proponent of non-philosophy, Laruelle rejects the conceptual dichotomies we typically employ, and urges us to look at the world using commonalities rather than differences.

In a site-specific dance work created for the exhibition “Civilization: The Way We Live Now” running from March 9 to May 19, 2019 at UCCA, choreographer Hou Ying offers the possibility of “falling into radical immanence,” and embracing the disruption of the logic we have used to construct reality. Dancers from Hou Ying Dance Theater will guide the audience through the exhibition halls, as they plunge into the world-as-one.

Choreographer: Hou Ying

Dancers: Dang Peilong,  Xue Wendan, Huang Jianrong, Chen Weijie, Liu Sishi, Xiao Zelan, Peng Chunlan
