Aisi Zhou – BELONGING | Tanzhaus Basel

Showing

Belonging is a choreographic work that explores the fragile and evolving notion of identity, shaped by memory, origin, and displacement. Rooted in personal history, the piece unfolds as a physical and visual journey where the body becomes a site of transformation—carrying traces of the past while negotiating its place in the present.

Through a dialogue between movement, imagery, and space, Belonging navigates the tension between intimacy and distance, presence and absence. Gestures emerge, dissolve, and reappear, echoing the layered experience of searching for a sense of home.

At its core, the piece questions what it means to belong: to a place, to a culture, or to oneself. It invites the audience into an immersive landscape where boundaries blur, and identity is continuously redefined.
