The infinite possibilities delving into the here-and-now encounter between sound and body.
As shown in a performance project of improvisation, exploration, and mutual challenge.
The serial project Primal Chaos – Dance X Sound Improvisation started in 2016 by HORSE invites performers to improvise with live sound and body in the dance studio.
Every performance thus opens up a unique first-time dialogue between performers, who eventually become the inspiration of their partners.

Curator｜ CHEN Wu-Kang, LEE Shih-Yang
“From the audience’s perspective, the immediate audio-visual sensation was the separation between sight and sound. This was a clearer attempt to make dance and music interact improvisationally…to allow dance and music manifest in the form of energy and on a principle of being ‘interactive but co-existential’, which satisfied the need for exploring a ‘level of freedom’ in the Primal Chaos series.”
WANG Po-wei, Performing Arts Review
“Under the current trends, any work that is as pure as absolute music like Primal Chaos, puts the audience in an unfamiliar interpretational experience. They have no choice but to open up a new avenue to understanding the artwork itself, regardless of whether its improvisational experiment is successful or not. The best proof is that during those post-performance seminars, no questions were asked to find out the meaning behind a particular sound or movement, as everyone’s focus was on how those movements and sounds formed and interacted.”
