"TiNTiY" by Sung Im Her | Her Project
Three dancers locked in a rhythmic loop turn our modern digital obsession into a high-energy stage experience. Forget stiff contemporary art; this show delivers an infectious clubbing pulse mixed with moments of pure, memes-inspired wit. It is a sleek, pulsating dive into what it feels like to live permanently switched on.

About
Choreographer Sung Im Her brings TiNTiY to the stage at Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse, a piece exploring the impact of modern media consumption on our physical and mental state. Over 40 minutes, three performers execute a hypnotic, repetitive choreography set to a club-inspired electronic score by the duo Husk Husk. Suitable for audiences from age 8, the work blends pop aesthetics with rigorous contemporary movement. Performances run from December 10 to December 16, 2026, with tickets ranging from 10 to 25 euros. A performance specifically adapted for spectators with mental disabilities is scheduled for December 12.
In Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (TiNTiY), Sung Im Her explores the impact of modern media consumption on our bodies and minds. On a deliberately stripped-back, almost raw stage, three performers execute "over-produced" gestures. The choreography uses repetition in a hypnotic way, punctuated by comedic moments evoking, for example, internet memes. The "clubbing" soundtrack, composed by the Belgian duo Husk Husk, completes the transformation of the stage into a space of contemporary trance.
Make no mistake, this "pop" proposal does not avoid rigor. Sung Im Her's work is distinguished by a constant balance between a formal minimalist aesthetic and a committed narrative. As a choreographer, she seeks the essence of movement, creating repetitive gestures stripped of any prior cultural or personal meaning.
Created in 2024, this piece is the result of an international collaboration, co-commissioned by the Seoul Performing Arts Festival (South Korea) and The Place (United Kingdom). Sung Im Her's work follows a double historical lineage. On one hand, her training at the prestigious P.A.R.T.S. school in Belgium links her to highly structured movement writing. On the other hand, her collaborations with major companies such as Les ballets C de la B or Needcompany place her work at the heart of the "Belgian wave" of contemporary dance, famous for its fusion of extreme physical performance and political stakes. Tomorrowisnowtodayisyesterday (TiNTiY) is a joyful fusion of all these legacies.

Our take on this event
TiNTiY examines the frenetic pace of contemporary life through a minimalist lens. Three dancers perform highly repetitive gestures on a stripped-back stage, punctuated by humorous references to internet memes. The experience is heightened by a driving club soundtrack composed by the Belgian duo Husk Husk, creating a state of contemporary trance. This 2024 creation draws on the choreographer's rigorous training at P.A.R.T.S. and her professional history with major companies like Les ballets C de la B.
The performance lasts 40 minutes and is open to viewers aged 8 and up.
