In Empirical Quotient, choreographer Victor Quijada uses an artistic approach that is part character study, part compositional dissertation, to explore human relationships through a theatrical but non-expository manner. Situations of dependence, rejection, empathy, and acceptance are woven together in a complex display of athleticism and precision. Quijada’s long time collaborators, composer Jasper Gahunia and lighting designer Yan Lee Chan, have created the perfect setting for the choreographer’s continuing observations on the effects of time and experience on an individual’s self-perception and identity.
