The video piece Peony is an adaptation of the song HATE by the girl group 4-Minute. The K-Pop dancer performs the choreography used in HATE, but slowed down. The Kun Opera (Chinese traditional opera) dancer uses traditional Kun Opera choreography to mirror the movements, and to show the link between the past and the present. The bravery and energy of the new generation are both so intimidating that they should be seen as a symbol for changing the world. No previous experience or context can allow for an interpretation of what they will change; yet we have to take them seriously. After all, is it progress, or is it a step backwards?
