The Reviews Hub

“The political themes of this final piece are strongly conveyed…while it is often possible to hear the dancers counting time to make sense of the complex demands of this dance, Husk Husk’s music is chant-like in its insistence as it drives the performers to keep on going beyond the point of their own saturation, unable to stop themselves connecting to the rhythm and demanding the attention that the dance gives them.”

Sung Im Her’s Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (TiNTiY) looks at the impact of (social) media on society as it focuses on oversharing, over-saturation and the bombardment of information, reflecting the physiological effects of this on the physical body. The work plays with the fun aspects of challenges, memes, skits and all manner of ‘entertaining content’ that is shared on these platforms, but counters this with the realities behind the facade. These darker undertones include an unending multitude of opinions, alternative truths and conspiracy theories, which help create confusion, anxiety and perpetuate the unease and precarity faced in society.

Performed on a stage, where the starkness of its raw form is highlighted with only designed lighting and club like sounds composed by musical duo Husk Husk filling the space, three dancers perform overly produced gestures, as they move between their independent selves, into a shared entanglement and back again, blurring the lines of their individual and collective identities.
