Pán

What are we shaped by?

Pán《盤》is an evocative two-part work by T.H.E Dance Company’s founding artistic director Kuik Swee Boon and resident choreographer Kim Jae Duk. Drawing from the Chinese creation myth of Pangu, a fabled being whose body fragments into various elements of nature, Pán《盤》 explores the continual meeting, merging and evolution of cultures.

With music by acclaimed Taiwanese musician Wang Yu-Jun and Kim Jae Duk’s original composition, Pán《盤》features guest artists Tung Ka Wai and Wheelsmith with diverse backgrounds, inviting audiences to discover how a shared positionality can emerge in our contemporary world.

Originally commissioned by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Pán《盤》first premiered at the Cultural Extravaganza 2021 as a livestream before receiving the Best Performance award at the Asian Arts Awards during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Don’t miss this long-awaited Singapore live premiere as T.H.E closes its 2026 season.

There will be a post-show dialogue for both shows. Audio description and creative captioning by Access Path Productions will be available for the Friday matinee, with a subsidised ticket price of $25 for Persons With Disability (PWDs) and schools.

Pán was originally commissioned by SCCC in 2021.
