1 Degree Celsius: A Dance Performance on Climate Urgency

Choreographer Sung Im Her presents *1 Degree Celsius*, a militant dance piece that translates the rise in global temperatures into movement. Seven dancers move with surgical precision, embodying the impact of climate change on bodies and identities. The musical score is composed from real atmospheric temperature data, while lighting coordinates in real time with the Earth's warming.

Her style blends raw, geometric gestures with a powerful narrative, drawing from her training at P.A.R.T.S. in Belgium and work with companies like Les ballets C de la B and Needcompany. Commissioned by the National Asian Culture Center (ACC), the performance offers a sensory immersion that questions art's ability to inspire action. The 50-minute show at Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse confronts urban lifestyles and our responsibilities toward the planet.
