UCCA and the organizers of Beijing Dance Festival are proud to present There/Now, a performance choreographed by Ma Bo and unfolding before the works of William Kentridge in the Great Hall. Incorporating Kentridge’s logic of “peripheral thinking,” Ma Bo a uses the movement of his body to respond to the social realities and cultural history of South Africa, creating a new dialogue with the exhibition space.
