His collaboration in Museum II: Ridden with Mio Ishida, a choreographer from Japan, left a deep impression on Leu. Leu realized that he and Mio shared similar experiences, both living in areas prone to earthquakes and natural disasters. While in Japan, one of the outcomes from their joint creative process is the concept of the body in ‘standby’ mode.
“Museum II: Ridden” is a reflection/performance that presents a vocabulary of motion centered on the exploration of mutation and the sense of alertness in the body. The exploration presents bodies that have experienced disasters: the three dancers on stage are ridden with rhythmic movements, filled with fragrance and mantra.
