Dark Circles Contemporary Dance will stage '1.5°C' on the 23rd at M Theater in Seoul, a performance that dramatizes the urgency of climate change through striking imagery and body movement. The piece focuses on issues like sea-level rise and conveys the scientific warning that a global temperature rise beyond 1.5°C (the limit set by the 2015 Paris Agreement) could cause irreversible ecological harm. Choreographer and artistic director Jo Hyun-sang leads performers Min Kyung-rim, Park Jae-hyuk, and Bong Ji-eun. Founded in 2010, Dark Circles has been creating works about environmental damage since 2021; their dance film 'FOGGY 하지마' (Don't Fog) won an award at the 2022 ECO CREATOR event and screened at the Seoul International Environmental Film Festival the following year.
