B.link No.4｜The Net Reveals

：：Remarks by Director ：：

April is when everything begins to be seen.

From scattered glimmers of light, to the weaving of the first thread, to relationships slowly growing within the gaps—we have finally arrived at this point: the net is no longer an abstract metaphor, but a social structure taking visible form.

Rehearsals for The Net have entered a true phase of integration.

What we are working with in the studio is no longer just the physical movement of bodies, but a micro-model of social structures.

Each dancer’s movement is no longer an expression of individual choice, but a necessity as a node within the grid. In contemporary society, we often speak of individual autonomy, yet overlook how we are constantly shaped and directed by invisible lines. As we construct connections in space, we are simulating the conditions of social connectivity—relationships that are imposed, chosen, or governed by underlying structures.

We have now moved into the rehearsal studios of the National Theater & Concert Hall. In this more public, stage-oriented environment, the work begins to align with reality.

The installation created by stage designer Hui CHEN and textile artist Yu-Ling LIN is not merely a set—it is a social space that reflects boundaries and constraints. The intersecting lines materialize the networks of society, and as the dancers’ bodies move through, struggle within, and connect across them, they embody our lived condition within these systems.

What we are examining is this: when people choose to hold hands, it is not only an emotional gesture, but also a moment of decision. Under what circumstances do we choose to step forward? This is a fundamentally social question.

We carry this system through cities and theaters. We carry this net to connect, to collide, to reorganize.

The net is becoming visible.

And you will begin to see yourself within it.
