The Eternal Straight Line

How does one prepare so that s/he may come to terms with the death of a loved one?
Death is like a lake, in which one always looks toward the bottom, imagining a place where the soul wanders. Death is also like a black hole guarding the end of time, reciting the equality of all life. If one day we traverse on the light of technology through the borderline of life and change the meaning and form of death, enabling your loved ones to take on a digital form and remain forever with you, would this be something you’d accept?
A collaboration between the multidisciplinary choreographer Chieh-Hua Hsieh, technological art studio Ultra Combos, and light design studio We Do Group, The Eternal Straight Line is their latest project after their 2015-piece Second Body, and for the first time also features the work of cloud designer Shu-Yu Lin in defying physical movement through the dance of smoke between warmth and consciousness. As story-telling dancers weave through lights, shadows and mist, holding weightless, formless smoke in the form of weighted emotions, all come together in a provoking discourse of life and death that gazes forward into the depths of the future.
