BECOMING is a performance with an intensely visual experience, combining absurdity, gentleness, and danger, the iron chains and latex sculptures to embody the themes of animosity and dependency arising from technology. The struggle and desires of humanity are brought up into a techno world, through choreographed movements, it physically demonstrates another possibility for the birth of combined life: a cybernetic, mechanical, and transmissive form. The future's conception of life may be no different from the mechanical generation. The suspended "body" lacks any emotions and is an organ-less entity, abandoned and available for exhibition.

《成为》是一场极富视觉体验的表演,将荒谬、温柔和危险相结合,通过铁链和乳胶雕塑来体现科技所带来的敌意和依赖的主题。人类的挣扎和欲望被带入一个技术世界中,通过编舞的形式,它以身体展示了孕育组合生命的另一种可能:一种赛博格式的、机械式的、传输式的形态。未来对生命的构想也许和机械生成无异。悬挂的“肉体”没有任何情感,是一个无器官的实体,被抛弃而可供展示。
