Sutra - Sidi Larbi & Antony Gormley with the Shaolin Monks

[ogith]

Very impressive choreography, if anything.

To claim that you see anything more from this little piece - or rather what is seen here on youtube - would not only be absurd, but also invoke the "The Emperor's New Clothes"-trope:

Rather than admitting to being able to see the emptiness (nakedness) of the piece(individual), one makes up a bullshit explanation(description) of the acts (clothes) that are supposed to be shown.

@ogith

There are 2 different general ways to receive a piece like this - most art too. Firstly, the visceral experience alone of watching this. Secondly, to question the choreographer/artist's intent and motives. Yes sometimes, actually a lot of time, such earnest questioning devolves into pretensions and myths. But to simply deny any attempt at questioning what is being represented to evade pretension is not any more beneficial that being pretentious itself.
