About the work "S"
"S" was specific choreographed for Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company by Shu-yi Chou in 2007. The concept and theme of the work "S" is inspired and influenced by Henry David Thoreau's sentence written in the book Walden and Civil Disobedience. "What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary?" (from chapter of Solitude, page 107, Barnes & Noble Books)
The title of the work "S", literally stands for the conditions we portraits in the work: solitude, silence, segregation, and separation. Graphically, "S" expresses the unlimited times of back and forth through the s line, which symbolizes the cycle of life and endless encounter of human relationships. This work was invited to be performed in Beijing 2008 Cross-strait Contemporary Youth Theatre Performing Festival and 2009 17ª Quinzena de Dança de Almada - Contemporary Dance Festival in Almada, Portugal.

" S "
" S " a été créé en 2007 par le chorégraphe Chou Shu-Yi, spécifiquement pour la Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company. L'œuvre est une réflexion inspirée par une question que pose Henry David Thoreau dans son essai Walden and Civil Disobedience : « Quelle sorte d'espace est celui qui sépare un homme de ses semblables et le rend solitaire? » (chapitre sur la Solitude, p. 107 de l'édition en anglais de Barnes & Noble Books). .
Le titre " S " est en fait l'initiale de "solitude", de "silence", de "ségrégation" et de "séparation", notions qui hantent tout le spectacle. Graphiquement, le "S" évoque la succession sans fin de mouvements contraires, la cyclicité de la vie ainsi que les infinies variations des relations humaines. L'œuvre fait l'objet d'une présentation en 2008 à Pékin, dans le cadre du « Festival des Deux Rives de Théâtre contemporain de la Jeunesse », Ainsi qu'en 2009, à Almada, au Portugal, lors de la 17e « Quinzena de Dança de Almada - Contemporary Dance Festival ».

Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company (SCDC) is founded in 1989 in Tainan City, the southern region and the first capital in the history of Taiwan. From 2005 to 2006, SCDC was awarded Tainan City Outstanding Dance Company Awards. In 2007, the production Shadow of Andersen's Illusion was selected to be the only dance production to receive The 2007-2008 Pursuit of Excellence in the Performing Arts Project Grants from National Culture and Arts Foundation.
