Weaving former Chinese traditions with modern perspectives, Unbound is an intense and stylish exploration of ideals of beauty, power, and gender. The starting point for Wen Wei Wang’s choreography reflects the former Chinese practice of binding women’s feet in pursuit of status and an impossible erotic ideal. Unbound transcends its cultural origins, unravelling sexualities, emotions and relationships that are universally familiar.
