"Dekalog" derives from Greek word of "Ten Commandments" which was given to Moses, the famous leader of Israelites, on the 13th century BC.

This work comprises the 6th commandment of "Do not murder".

It could be explained that one should not kill others as well as oneself.

Without life, without freedom.

When people wanted to be free without life, they lost everything.

"Do not kill" emphasizes not to cut off the relation between human and human, which is closely connected to the relation between God and human.

Commandment engraved into the stone of Sinai mountain is reviving now more and more clearly in these gloomy ages.

Socio-political commentary, live music and powerful imagery are woven into postmodern dance in Dekalog I. The title is taken from the Greek word for the Ten Commandments and uses the sixth, “Thou shalt not kill”, an investigation of the ways in which both the physical act of murder, and the deterioration of the soul, have alienated human beings from one another, while denying their freedom.
Dekalog I is part of a series of works exploring themes of humanity within the context of the Ten Commandments. Dekalog II will be presented during the company’s 10th Anniversary.
