EL NUDO MÁS CERCANO OR THE CLOSET KNOT
Artist in residence, Hong Kong. 2022
This piece focuses on transitory states that revolt outcomes and assumptions to find new ones. Likewise, Orson Wells’s latest film editing, “The closest knot, has an arresting visual unpredictability. JSR conceptualizes the blend of styles, situations, statements, and imagery, stimulating a fresh and original storytelling narrative in contemporary dance.
The Closest Knot is about finding our deepest desires again inside the mass. A work about unity, about relearning how to hug, hold, and hang in there. It is about revindicating dreams and hopes. Redeeming our last resort to save our planet, world, and existence.
Premiered on December 9 & 10, 2022 at Lyric Theater, Hong Kong. Artist in Residency at @hkapa_edu
