The work of the show’s designers, buttressed by the skill of the production team,
is outstanding…..The commitment and physical courage of the dancers are
impressive, although I hate to think how many bruises the women must have had
at the end of the show. - Natasha Rogai/South China Morning Post
“A visual and auditoryspectacular performance….Despite the proscenium setting, Mr
Blank 2.0 gives a more immersive feel ” - -Dora Lai/dance journal/ HK

About the work
When time loses its bearings in the labyrinth of algorithms, Mr. Blank takes root deep within the human psyche. In this age of big data—where cameras, live-streaming, and viral videos saturate every corner of society—our sense of time splinters into fragments, drifting in a ceaseless current.
Mr. Blank 2.0 plunges into a world where life is inextricably bound to big data and artificial intelligence. Once again, Sang confines his characters within a sealed space, dissolving the boundaries between “observer” and “observed,” and the audience is no longer a mere bystander. Within these glass walls, intersecting gazes reveal both the anxiety of being watched and the struggle to preserve one’s identity.
Have you ever come face-to-face with your own Mr. Blank
