A performance of three (3) contemporary dance works – two (2) of which are newly crafted; Winged Wolves and the Bamboo Mew & Pieces of Three Movements and one (1) a re-stage; Rite.Winged Wolves and the Bamboo Mew, an original choreography by Kenny Shim. Winged Wolves and the Bamboo Mew initiates it’s creative process by using Frühlings Erwachen; Spring Awakening, as a catalyst. 
 
Spring Awakening is Frank Wedekind’s most popular play and one of seminal dramatic works of late 19th century literature. It depicts the struggles of a group of pubertal adolescents trying to come to terms with their burgeoning sexual desires. The subtitle of the play reads ‘Eine Kindertragödie’ (‘A children’s tragedy’). The tragedy of the adolescents depicted in the play lies in the fact that they are left alone with their questions, their doubts, their longings and their feelings of guilt by their parents and teachers, in some cases with fatal consequences. Wedekind attacks the disciplinarian and prudish society of his day, which is depicted as doing considerable harm with its attempt to cover up and suppress sexual desires.

About the film (From New Frontier Pictures official website)
This film was shot in the cultural village of the Mah-Meri in Carey Island. It is the home and original settlement of one of the Orang Asli aborigine tribes of Malaysia. The islanders were very supportive throughout production, and we managed to include some islanders as extras and also the role of the grandmother. In order to stay authentic to the world, original music of hymns and chants of the tribe were recorded on location and incorporated with the soundtrack of the Film.
