Dragons by Eun-Me Ahn

Eun-Me Ahn’s performance at Milton Keynes Theatre was a visually stunning and innovative dance experience that pushed creative boundaries. The show featured clever choreography using long hoses, reminiscent of vacuum cleaner attachments, which the dancers manipulated with incredible precision, adding an element of fluidity and surprise to the performance.

One of the most striking aspects was the transparent projection screen at the front of the stage. This created a mesmerising layered effect, with dynamic imagery appearing in front of the dancers, fully immersing the audience in a dreamlike spectacle. At one point, it seemed as though the performers were floating inside bubbles, a breathtaking illusion that highlighted the seamless fusion of digital art and physical movement. The whole stage changed colour in time with the music at times, heightening the otherworldly, futuristic atmosphere.

The music was pounding electronic dance music, adding to the energy and intensity of the performance. At times, it was almost overwhelming, pulling the audience into a high-energy, immersive experience that felt completely unique.

A particularly engaging moment came when subtitles appeared on the screen, accompanying recordings of each dancer introducing themselves and sharing insights into their journeys. Many were still in training, which made their impressive skills and stage presence even more remarkable.

Eun-Me Ahn’s production was quirky, very imaginative, and unlike anything else. The combination of surreal visuals, bold choreography, and powerful music created a show that felt futuristic, boundary-pushing, and utterly captivating.
