The Korea National Contemporary Dance Company is on an international tour with "Jungle," which premiered in October as the curtain raiser at the International Modern Dance Festival.
The company is performing "Jungle" at Theatre 13 in Paris on Sunday and Monday, as part of the 2024 Korea Season organized by the Culture Ministry to coincide with the 2024 Paris Olympics, which kicks off July 26.
Choreographed by Kim Sung-yong, the company's director and artistic director, "Jungle" features 17 dancers who express their individuality against the backdrop of a jungle where the instincts and vitality of the body collide.
