Puur is one of the works that make you wonder why artists like to choose dreary themes such as genocide for their art-making. If you avoid horror movies because of the blood, gore and suspense, then this work may be rather off-putting… Puur wasn’t just a dance piece, but one with a message about senseless, horrifying genocide that was drummed home with occasional dialogue and a film, projected intermittently between dance segments… Puur was marked by flashes of choreographic genius like this, as dancers executed variations of confrontational and coercive contact movements. In some instances, it looked like Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, especially the segment that saw dancers throwing long poles at each other and using them as props... Sharon Cheah Ui-Hoon
