About
Fanglao Dance Company has become a leading presence in the Lao dance scene not only for the striking symbiosis of traditional dance and hip hop styles in its work but also due to its efforts to organize workshops. For its first performances in Japan, the company presented two works: “Bamboo Talk” is a male dance duet exploring the culture of Southern Laos through breakdancing, traditional martial arts, and an old kind of Lao singing called mor lam, while “PhuYing” features three female dancers employing both classical and hip hop dance styles to convey the reality of women in Laos today. “Fanglao” means to “listen to Laos.” Against the noise of rapid economic growth and modernization in Laos, what can we hear? What do people now feel and sense in their lives? Fanglao Dance Company weaves an honest and fresh meditation on these questions through a unique form of dance culture.
