59:59 is a full-length contemporary dance work that asks a simple but urgent question: If you had one hour left to live, how would you spend it?
Developed through a five-week cross-cultural residency spanning Taiwan and Singapore, the work draws from personal reflections and research into predominantly Asian perspectives on death, impermanence, and the afterlife.
Choreographed collaboratively by Hsu Chen Wei (Hsu Chen Wei Dance Company, Taiwan) and Rachel Lum (Decadance Co, Singapore), and performed by dancers from both companies, 59:59 unfolds as a visceral meditation on mortality—moving from resistance and fear toward acceptance, presence, and the quiet appreciation of life’s fleeting moments.
