創作的初始，兩人分開個自即興的進行，巧妙的是作品卻在兩人的自由放逐中逐漸變成對現今人類境況的反映及深思，在撕裂一切看似既合乎邏輯又理性的表象之後，最終成為對各種時事趨於荒誕混亂的回應。非理性及無意識之中反而自然而然成為一種強烈的中心思想，以非批判的角度審視了社會規範以外的人類行為。

“exhilarat(ing)… a truly amazing feat that ends on a resounding note”
-Mayo Martin, TODAY Online
Organised Chaos is borne of an ongoing conversation between T.H.E artistic director Swee Boon Kuik and resident Korean choreographer Jae Duk Kim on the universal human condition, a response to global current affairs in an increasingly absurd, chaotic world.
The second collaboration between Kuik and Kim is pieced from free-flowing creative improvisation. Working apart at first, each choreographer casts a critical eye on the social norms that dictate human behavior, tearing apart all that appears logical and rational in order to forge their own interpretation in dance. From the chaos emerges a stunning aural interplay of text, sound, speech and movement.
About The Choreography│
Kuik Swee Boon (Singapore/Malaysia)
Founder and Artistic Director of T.H.E Dance Company and the CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival, Swee Boon Kuik was born in south Malaysia, Batu Pahat. He was the first Asian principal male dancer with Spain’s Compania Nacional de Danza (CND) from 2002 to 2007. During his career with the CND, he worked mainly with Nacho Duato as well as renowned choreographers including Jiri Kylian, Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin and Wim Vandekeybus. Prior to joining the CND, he began his dance career in 1990 with the Singapore People’s Association Dance Company and Singapore Dance Theatre. Swee Boon’s exceptional artistry led him to receive a nomination in 2003 for the Benois De La Danse Award. In 2007, he was awarded the Young Artist Award from the National Arts Council of Singapore (NAC).
